Hello Linux gamers

I’m suddenly having issues launching Steam as a flatpak on my Debian 12 system.
I used to work flawlessly just a few days ago.

After trying to launch it a few times, i checked to see if there were any updates.
Steam had a new version available so i updated it along with all my other updates.
Still crashes.

When launching it opens like it should with that small loading bar, then the new modern loading UI thing with your profile picture, it makes it way to “Waiting for network” and crashes there every time.
