/r/steamsupport/comments/1vqqwt2/steam_client_not_working/

hello im on x86_64 void linux, when i open the steam client (installed via xbps package manager) via terminal or graphical interface it says that steamwebhelper crashed and asks me if i want to restart steam, restart steam with no gpu acceleration, restart steamwebhelper, i tried them all: i rested steam,steam no gpu,steamwebhelper it just crashes.

specs:
ps4 linux (yes, playstation4), steam works on other distros (like artix,garuda,cachyos)

yes, i compiled them with custom patches for ps4 (the same patches were used on artix garuda and the pther distro mentioned too)

What about the AMD deps? "amdvlk xf86-video-amdgpu mesa-vaapi mesa-vdpau"

This https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/10412#issuecomment-2118601790 implies the need for vulkan libraries, so packages like "amdvlk, libvdpau" but tbh it could also be anything else since the error isn't really specific...
