I just restarted my computer after an automatic update, like mostly weekly, but now i cannot launch Steam anymore.
I used to open a Terminal and write Steam, now i see this :

I don't know what they do with manjaro, but with arch when you install steam you can launch it with steam (runtime) and steam-native (system libs).
There is "Manjaro steam native configuration found!" when you enter steam, so it seems to be configured for the system libs, on arch i use the package "steam-native-runtime" to install all the libs
I tried to reboot, check update, but same.

~/.steam/ubuntu12_32...there is
~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/pinned_libs_32at least on Arch.
Maybe you have some weird permission issues, so it can't access the correct paths?
edit: the error after rebooting your machine seems to be related to 32 bit driver missing? check your drivers

I have around 50 Giga left on my disks.
As a "tester" often more than a "player", i kind of need many installed games at once.
Hmmm...
Can’t i delete everything "around" the steamapps folder, while keeping it intact ?

Steam doesn’t see the installed games. The path seems good, my games data are still there, but according to Steam, the folder is empty of games, and shows correct empty size.
I tried to point to the path i see my games, but "Folder must be empty".
I tried to create a new Library folder, i can install games in both folder, but the the new folder is invisible, not hidden just not showing at all in the list of folders. So i cannot move games from folder 1 to folder 2.
Weird stuff happens...
(edit : the folder is "wrong", it’s not my "real" Home. Don’t know how to fix that.
(edit 2 : OK that’s because flatpak is inside its own world, so i need to cheat it to show my folder, but not sure how
I’ve found some things, like https://davejansen.com/give-full-filesystem-access-to-flatpak-installed-applications/ but i don’t know how to do it for my Steam games folder.
Also, using Flatpak is not the solution to my initial issue, and i can’t find on internet something i can understand.
(edit 3 : so, i think i managed to use my games via flatpak, with
[tchey@ordimanj ~]$ flatpak override --user --filesystem=~/.local/share/Steam/
[tchey@ordimanj ~]$ flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam
(edit 4 : aaaand... it seems i cannot launch any game via proton, only native ones.

Native games, no issue, click and play.
If i check integrity of local files, it seems to be checking something anyway.
Tried to change Proton version, but no change.
Example i see this when i click Play on the Proton game "Wizard Warfare" :

Can you believe it ?
i checked the nvidia drivers, reinstalled the last one (455 something) "just in case".
Reboot.
Working fine now.
All that just because something was wrong with the nvidia installation from the same driver...
Thanks for your efforts, at least i’ve learnt a little.

indicated hard that you didnt have the 32bit drivers installed. steam stupidly still needs 32bit...
glad you got it sorted. I guess manjaro packaging failed
I didn’t specifically installed 32bits drivers, i only re-installed the one marked as installed on the drivers manager.
