Description

OS: LMDE5

Proton version: I'm using proton 7 and proton expirimental along with some older versions

When using proton on any games at all it will process shades, update anything it needs to and then the button shows its launching but it suddenly stops, again this happens for any and all games. I am updated to the latest version of my OS, Steam, and Proton but nothing works

Research direction

The report names LMDE5, Steam, Proton 7, Proton Experimental, and older Proton versions but no repository file, test, log, or reproducible game. Start by gathering the missing launch logs and a specific affected game, then compare behavior across the reported Proton versions. Done would require identifying a reproducible cause and confirming that the affected game launches successfully.
