Weird Steam update?
Salvatos May 26, 2020
Steam just installed an update that prevented it from logging into my account. I started it in offline mode, then restarted to go online and it took about a minute to finally do so. It briefly showed a warning about receiving a message from a user not on my friends list, but that vanished. I don’t see any news about a client update releasing today.

Any idea what is going on?

No issues here, I'm using Steam on Linux Mint as well and everything seems normal. Maybe try a fresh steam client install?

In general, they do server maintenance on Tuesdays, which can explain the problems connecting to the server.
