I am coming from windows and want to switch. Got a new M2, installed mint cinnamon, got it to dual boot, installed the drivers for my 3060 installed steam.

I linked the steam libraries on my other drives (the ones I also use in windows) downloaded proton in several versions and… Cyberpunk didn’t start. When I restarted the system, updated all the software, restarted again.

When started steam again, the UI was gone. I see three icon in the tray on the right, and I can move the steam window, when I happen to find it. But I don’t see the window, I see the desktop background. What can I do to fix that?

Thanks for your time and help

    The disappearing Steam window might be fixable by starting steam with the -no-cef-sandbox option. If that works, then it’s due to some issue with the built-in browser.

      Shared NTFS drives can have problems because Windows saves time on shutdown by just not writing them out completely.

      If it’s the latter, you’ll probably see the NTFS drive either fail to mount at all, or log some errors. You can fix that by disabling fast startup on Windows.
