```
and then immediately after this the process is killed and Steam doesn't launch, with no error message in the terminal. Where should I look in the log files to debug this issue?

Research direction
Start with the Steam logs in /home/steven/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/logs and the terminal output around Steam Runtime Launch Service startup. Check the steamwebhelper and runtime launch-service entries immediately before termination. Done means identifying an actionable error or documenting where the process exits without one.
