Hi, I need help on figuring out why Portal won't launch on ANY Arch Linux based distro at all. Half-Life 2 & Portal 2 launch perfectly fine but when looking it up, it was specifically pointing at Arch Linux + deteratives too.
I've tried everything on Reddit, Steam, and the Arch Wiki and wanted to see if anyone here knows of any possible fixes.

Oh and before anyone assumes I'm on a NVIDIA GPU, I don't have any NVIDIA devices currently

well, getting logs would be a good starting point. try launching the game with the following launch options:
%command% > ~/portal.log
send the portal.log file that will appear in your $HOME after this

You might not have an Nvidia GPU, but what Is your graphics set up anyway? Is it like AMD Radeon situation or is it like built-in Intel graphics, like on a laptop?

Let's see what some of our OpenGL prefixes mean.
GL_NV_* (and possibly GL_NVX_*) would clearly indicate something NVidia related.
GL_AMD_* would be something AMD or Radeon related.
GL_APPLE_* would indicate something Apple Related.
GL_ATI_* would be something ATI related.
Not sure what GL_GREMEDY_* or GL_ANGLE_* are for.
I would assume that GL_ARB_* would mean some Arbitrary OpenGL thing.
GL_EXT_* and GLX_EXT_* would likely indicate an OpenGL extension.
By the lack of Intel stuff (I forget the GL_* prefix for Intel stuff anyway), and the fact that GL_AMD_pinned_memory is supported, but disabled, could your computer be running some kind of AMD graphics?

It has something to do with engine.so not wanting to launch specifically

Yeah, Portal (along with a few other games that I tried), really like working with a dedicated graphics card. It sucks that a lot of graphics cards cost more than all of the other parts of the computer combined. But Portal has been around since 2007 so there's no reason an older graphics card--or even a moderately aged motherboard with built-in graphics--can't handle this game. How well does it handle something like Minecraft?

It runs Minecraft fine
Hell, it'd load and play both Portal 2 & Half-Life 2 without problems, it's Portal specifically and when doing some research, it has something to do with engine.so refusing to launch so the only temporary solution is to launch within my terminal
