The steam launcher is a mess, and Valve refuse to fix it. Seems like they don't want my money then. I have no trouble with running pirated singleplayer games through Lutris, so I'll just do that instead.

Obviously not applicable to OP since they want to pirate but I'll add my two cents and say that BTRFS would cause Steam to freeze my computer. Disabling CoW on impacted directories made the problem lesser. I have since switched to ZFS and couldn't have been happier with it.

@boo_ Definitely fascinating to me: I've been using EndeavorOS with BTRFS and steam and haven't had any problems beyond issues that related to my games that were on my Windows NTFS disk. Glad you got yourself sorted though!
