I am getting the following error

I have already tried to install the 1386 version of nvdia-driver-470 but it kind of takes the nvidia graphics card away and uses llvm pipe but steam runs with the amd gpu, but while I try to get the nvidia gpu back using nvidia-driver-470 with

sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-470

then steam fails again on launch with the above mentioned error.

How can I fix it?

I have tried a lot of things and finally have found maybe a compromise in this case.

First step: don't forcibly try to change anything. If you are getting additional drivers by Ubuntu like the normal ones then let it be. If you have just now installed a new gpu then add the latest PPA and drivers (but don't just blindly take any driver on any website ,check the latest tested ones from respective vendors)

Then once you are able to see the drivers installed then reboot. Make sure secure boot is switched off to allow the drivers to be loaded.

Do not try to add weird i386 drivers as most of them are not supported for AMD.

Set the GPU to on-demand mode in nvdia x-server settings and then the apu mode and the gpu mode run accordingly. This resolved a lot of my issues with steam. Once done check the video settings to the memory and then reboot and you are ready for the run.

I don't know about anything else mentioned here, but the i386 packages are required for Steam to run, because (at least some) parts of Steam are 32-bit only.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
