That was a combination of the Steam client being a piece of trash (incredible complexity and technical debt*) and COSMIC. COSMIC is quite buggy when it comes to Xwayland. I’ve had plenty of issues where I close a Xwayland window, but a ghost of the window remains.
the Steam Client runs on a combination of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Debian 12 libraries. It has a combination of their old VGUI code and newer Chromium GUI. It remains 32-bit and only supports X11.

runs on a combination of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Debian 12 libraries. No wonder it works fine in Ubuntu. Why won’t these “switch to Linux” challenges ever just fucking use Ubuntu?! It’s literally the distro that the big companies target!
