And what is the output from

pacman -Qs xdg-desktop-portal

[snow matrix]

[electron271@saturn ~]$ pacman -Qs xdg-desktop-portal
local/xdg-desktop-portal 1.16.0-3
    Desktop integration portals for sandboxed apps
local/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome 44.1-2 (gnome)
    A backend implementation for xdg-desktop-portal for the GNOME desktop environment
local/xdg-desktop-portal-gtk 1.14.1-1
    A backend implementation for xdg-desktop-portal using GTK

i assume i probably have to install it

no wait that means its installed im dumb

There is currently a bug in the latest xdg-desktop-portal-gnome that prevents Steam from launching on non-GNOME environments.

oh

should i uninstall/downgrade

Please downgrade (to version 43) or uninstall xdg-desktop-portal-gnome and see if that makes a difference.
