Does it not work after an update or this is the first time you try it?
In the first case you could try restoring the last snapshot and see if it works, then maybe update again.
If it’s your first time using it, I’m not a gamer so I can’t give you technical details but I see your home (which I see Steam is using) is on a different partition. Maybe you need to recheck something at the permissions level? Probably here Steam users can give you good hints.
By the way I see that home has only 4% free space. That’s not small in absolute terms, but it seems to me that Steam uses the home a lot, downloads files at startup, etc… Maybe you can try doing some cleanup.

I do not have snapshot from that.

I have searched in Steam in Garuda Forum and I cannot find any help on this error.

Have you tried reinstalling of steam?

You haven’t provided much resolutions you already tried, have you done anything on your own? Or waiting for working resolution for your system?

I Have uninstalling Proton and Protontricks, then I have uninstalled Steam-native and Steam-runtime, then reinstalling.

Nothing change.

Here is a handy guide for gamers, informative for what to install. I would suggest removing steam completely, and start by making sure you have all the drivers needed for your GPU from this guide. Secondly, use the wine-staging instead of wine and all the dependencies this guide lists to install. Then install steam and steam-native. You should not have any issue if done correctly.

Now, installing Proton from Garuda Gamer, it install Proton and Steam-native, Stream-runtime…

But, this is the execution:

For the record, I run Steam previously a month aprox.

I install all my protons using ProtonUp-QT, might try that, works for both Steam and Lutris.

To me it seems like nothing more than steam’s installer having crashed in the middle of it’s first run. No amount of reinstalling the steam package is going to change anything about that.

Consider running the following: steam --reset

OK, but, the guide is for debian/ubuntu

How can I install gfortran and build-essential?

Also, archi linux wine is wine-8.21 (Staging), the guide propose version 9. I will install it with Octopi.

18

Probably need to find that package in arch linux repos

19

So, I have correct packages in Garuda.

But these are packages in lutris or where?

Exec format error steam
It seems like you’re encountering an “Exec format error” when trying to run a .exe file on Steam for Linux. This error typically occurs when attempting to execute a binary file that is not compatible with the running system’s architecture.

Based on the search results provided, here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

Ensure compatibility: Make sure the game or application you’re trying to run is compatible with your system’s architecture (32-bit or 64-bit). You can check your system’s architecture by running the command uname -m in the terminal.
Run the binary directly: As suggested in the Steam Community discussion, try running the binary directly from the game directory instead of launching it through Steam. You can do this by navigating to the game directory and running the command ./SuperBloodHockey (replace “SuperBloodHockey” with the actual binary name).
Check for required dependencies: Some applications may require specific libraries to run correctly. Ensure that all necessary dependencies are installed on your system.
Reinstall Steam and the game: If none of the above steps work, you might want to consider reinstalling Steam and the game in question. This can help resolve any potential issues with file corruption or missing components.
Here’s an example of how to run the binary directly from the terminal:

Replace “/path/to/game/directory” with the actual path to your game directory

cd /path/to/game/directory

Run the binary (replace “SuperBloodHockey” with the actual binary name)

./SuperBloodHockey

Keep in mind that running Windows executables (.exe files) directly on Linux systems is not always straightforward, and some applications might not work correctly without using a compatibility layer like Wine.
