Halp with steam on nVidia
by dubiousa from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6N7M9)
Hey guys.
Got a new laptop and installed slackware --current (XFCE).
Installed Grub2, upgraded system and multilib.
Installed steam from alienbob (was a bit surprised it was not found in the basic full install).
Installed nVidia drivers from Ponce's repository and they do work nicely. (glxgears, only using the nvidia)
Now can't start steam, getting

Laptop in question:
Laptop HP Omen 16-wd0013dx 16.1" 1920x1080 IPS 144Hz i5-13420H,16GB,512GB,Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 6GB,W11H,Shadow Black,Backlit US
I do not want to install flatpack.
I want to know what is wrong, because this issue could cause problems elsewhere too.
I do have a perfectly working slackware with steam on my AMD/AMD box, so I know this SHOULD work just fine.
Thanks for your time!
