when running steam-native, i get the error x86_64-linux-gnu-capsule-capture-libs: error: code 0: gelf_getehdr(/usr/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so): invalid file descriptor pressure-vessel-wrap[28903]: E: Child process exited with code 1, along with the popup from steam saying steamwebhelper failed to start. i have tried removing ~/.steam and ~/local/steam and then reinstalling steam to no avail. also updated my system and rebooted in case anything else was wrong.

figured it out. apparently the root cause was this:
x86_64-linux-gnu-capsule-capture-libs: error: code 0: gelf_getehdr(/usr/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so): invalid file descriptor
apparently that .so file is handled by the intel-media-driver package. so the fix is to just reinstall it with sudo pacman -S intel-media-driver
