#Steam just broke on #Arch #Linux for me?

steam Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Apparently has something to do with lib32-glibc, according to searches. Flatpak works fine, so it surprisingly isn't my Nvidia drivers I don't think (though I'm running an ancient card on 580xx). lib32-glibc is preventing its own downgrade so can't test it out, but wondering if anyone else is having this issue.

@ferret As a beginner (which I still am today), I used to have Arch Linux installed, but it used to break a lot, so I switched to Linux Mint, which was much better. I could change whatever I wanted (kernel, desktop environment, etc.) and it worked similarly to Arch. So, if you are a beginner, I suggest starting at a lower level.

Found it. I wasn't getting a response which in my experience means something stupid is behind it, and sure enough, for some reason chaotic-aur updated lib32-nvidia-utils but didn't update nvidia-utils, and I had to force it.
