Hello! On my laptop running Endeavour OS, I'm experiencing an issue. I can open and connect to SteamVR with ALVR (v20.13.0) fine; however, the Steam client (the main window where you buy and launch games) almost immediately becomes unresponsive before promptly crashing. It'll try to open up again, only to be the steam background color for about half a second before crashing again. Any suggestions?

Launch Options:
gamemoderun __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia /home/anthonyc/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin/vrmonitor.sh %command%

Runtime env:
Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 (sniper)

GPUs 😭 :
GPU 1: NVIDIA Quadro P1000 Mobile [Discrete], GPU 2: Intel UHD Graphics 630 @ 1.15 GHz [Integrated]
