Take a look at:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/passwd
Towards the end, there should be a line with your username. Something like (my username is spamegg):

Code: Select all

spamegg:x:1000:1000:spamegg,,,:/home/spamegg:/bin/bash
If this has an extra slash at the end of your home directory, like:

Code: Select all

spamegg:x:1000:1000:spamegg,,,:/home/spamegg/:/bin/bash
that slash should be removed. You can do:

Code: Select all

usermod -m -d /home/username username
where you replace username with your own username.

Hi,
I got the same error and send it to steam support, here is the mail I got in return.

"Steam is only available for Linux Ubuntu LTS x64 running Unity, Gnome or KDE."

I tried installing gnome and run Steam from Gnome session and it doesn't make any difference!

Let's hope we don't have to quit LM just for Steam!

Thanks.
Happily using Linux Mint Cinnamon on a Dell XPS 15 and on several MacBook Pro.

In the end I gave up. I am using the Flatpak version instead. Runs perfectly. https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.va ... ware.Steam

I have been having much the same issue with steam recently since last month on Linux Mint and Ubuntu. I installed the Flathead version with some success and have been playing around with gog.com. it seems like steam is leaving Linux an Ubuntu users out in the cold. My daughter runs Linux xfce on Athlon 64 computer and she can no longer run Steam.

I have been using steam for years now on LM Cinamon and MATE (all way back since LM16 as I recall), and been able to play a lot of the larger games.
As long as you go through the program handling GUI, then installing STEAM is no issue.
I have played plenty of Civilizations on it, but of course not all games works flawlessly.
OS: Linux Mint 21.1-64-bit Cinamon/win 10 dual boot
Laptop: Abook P95xER
CPU: Intel i7-8750H, RAM: 16GB DDR4
GFX-1: Intel, GFX-2: NVIDIA Ti 1060 Max3Q
476GB SDD; Win 10~240GB, /~220GB, swap~16GB
1TB HDD, DATA~1TB
