  1. Launching Steam from terminal via “steam” command does launch properly, however it is tied to the console window.
  2. Vulkan tools response:
vulkaninfo | grep "GPU[0123]" -A 10
WARNING: [Loader Message] Code 0 : terminator_CreateInstance: Failed to CreateInstance in ICD 3.  Skipping ICD.

  1. This worked for me. The .desktop file was the culprit!
  2. I will probably also not do this.
    THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME!!! I no longer feel the need to abandon my linux dreams to go back to windows. :slight_smile:
