I keep trying to restart Steam, and I keep getting this. Strangely, the first time I tried to record what was happening, it successfully opened on that occasion, but I couldn’t get it to work again. I lowered the resolution to record.

Update: Strangely, it works consistently when using the desktop shortcut, but consistently fails when using the menu shortcut.

    It seems the bad one has Exec=sh -c 'STEAM_FRAME_FORCE_CLOSE=1 steam %U', while the good one has Exec=/usr/bin/steam %U.

    I guess I just sudo edit the bad .desktop file? I’ll see if that works.

    Update: Changing the Exec line to Exec=/usr/bin/steam %U didn’t work.

    Update 2: It seems to just change it back.
