Error running steam on Ubuntu 20.04 64 bit

ve flag

EDIT: I managed to fix the issue myself. What I had to do was:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 and sudo ubuntu-drivers install

Original Post: I'm new to Ubuntu and Linux, so I don't really know what I'm doing. I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS 64-bit. I've installed steam but now I cannot run it. When I put steam in the terminal I see the "Updating Steam" window for a split second before it closes. The terminal output looks like this:

cami@cami-pc:~/Downloads$ steam

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.
