Just wanna post this from CachyOS’s forum
Yeup. chaotic-aur will also not be re-adding this package.
I can see if you can add a check to garuda-health to communicate the removal of this package.

Just be cautious with the removal, as trying to use certain removal commands or doing cleanup afterwords can try to remove steam if it isn’t being marked as explicitly installed.
(talked about here: Chaotic-AUR | Packages | Requests | Recompilation | Reports - #1160 by Kayo )

I’m not sure if its still there but rani used to have native in the game section
That’s @dr460nf1r3 territory. (Good morning Nico!)

garuda-health now detects and helps with the steam-native-runtime removal, as well as the garuda-hotfixes removal.

Already gone from RANI,
The moment native-runtime was removed it was purged from RANI too.
Also when I removed the native, I by mistake removed as well the steam-runtime, exactly as mentioned by Kayo, hahaha.
On the to-do list 
(Rani will only show in-repo packages, but it still needs removal from the lists)

Hmm. Running Dr460nized version, and while I haven’t checked the links that Kayo provided I see the following status from garuda-health when running an update:
-– LOW —
- Deprecated/Outdated/Removed packages should be removed: steam-native-runtime (fix available)
But when I run garuda-health --fix to take care of it, I see this message:
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing steam-native-runtime breaks dependency ‘steam-native-runtime’ required by proton-ge-custom
So until proton-ge-custom gets updated, we’ll continue to need the steam-native-runtime package it seems.
Could use protonplus (in Chaotic-AUR) to manage proton versions instead. (which include GE).

After removing steam-native-runtime, should the steam window still say steam native?
I think I messed up, only a few of my 200 games work after update.
Most games: Black screen with game menu music. Nothing else works so I need to stop the game from steam.
Sooo.. do I just need to reinstall the 32-bit stuff and the official runtime will run the games just as fine?
I was wondering that too. Seems we have a dead-software ghost. 
The deprecation of steam-native-runtime is quite old now. I would not attribute that to its removal.
This is probably an unrelated issue.
Create a new post in Issues & Assistance > Unsupported Software (AUR & Other) and post the full steam logs from launch to starting a game to shutdown.
Also include any other information that you are asked for in the issue template.

I will probably install Nobara alongside win11 and this broken garuda to see if it is any more stable, and after verifying that my machine is still linux-gaming capable, I will reinstall garuda.
At this point I think re-installing is much faster than reading forums and trying to apply fixes that MIGHT work on my specific problem. I am glad I partitioned my SSD in about 10 partitions, one dedicated to each distro/OS, one for EFI, one for steam games etc.
I don’t mean to sith on Garuda - I love many things that were superior compared to my previous ubuntu, but I certainly did not love what happened to my gaming recently.
Thanks for the help anyway, I will consider posting if re-installation feels too much this weekend.
Heya.
You can easily reinstall Garuda Linux without losing your home folder if needed:
garuda-update remote os-reset
Keep in mind that the backup subvolumes that are created should never be booted from and should be deleted soon after.
