Are you on X11 or Wayland? Steam has crap support for Wayland
Works fine for me on GNOME, but it could have issues on other desktop environments.
I've never had any issues on Hyprland. The Steam Deck also uses Wayland (Gamescope). Not saying there can't be cases where unique bugs happen on Wayland, and maybe there's something else I don't know about, but Steam Wayland support seems to be fine as far as I can tell.
Wayland plus Nvidia is a recipe for disaster. Steam deck is AMD
Does Steam even have any support for Wayland? There's maybe one dialogue window that runs under native Wayland, and the rest of the UI uses XWayland. I've been running the few games I played under XWayland and they work just fine on KDE Plasma / Manjaro.
Works fine in Wayland here.
