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

Are your games installed on an NTFS formatted drive? Steam on Linux generally doesn’t play nice with NTFS.

This fix worked for me in the past,most games worked on NTFS though but some of the high end ones didn't like mk11
