Steam runtime doesn't run

hello all,
to start with the beginning: some years ago I switched to Linux full-time, and for that I chose Manjaro, everything went great for some months then it broke, reinstalled then broke again after months, so I switched to EndeavourOS for some months then my SSD broke so I bought a new one & installed Garuda, my issue is that I have a Laptop with an NVIDIA dedicated GPU, and I read somewhere that the best version of Steam is Steam Runtime, but when running it, Steam Native runs and I cannot play anything, my diagnosis showed that there were problems with the locale, it is inconvenient in my case but after many trial & error, I managed to fix it, but Steam Runtime doesn’t run anyway, can you help please? thanks in advance

hello Bargo,
your CPU = Intel
but installed is kernel znver4…this is for AMD …
pls change to lts, zen, lqx, cachyos kernel first…then, perhaps it works.
You should get also information about your swap partitions,
because the Linux system often no longer responds promptly when swapping out such large amounts of data. Take a look in your inxi what the swaps doing…
i mean…nothing, sorry.
But that belongs in another thread.

Thanks for replying
I should have known that it could be a Kernel issue
On EndeavourOS I can game on zen kernel
Anyway, I changed the distro, but my brother’s laptop is on Garuda and he will game after his project (PFE)
