Ubuntu 23.04 - My Steam app does not open
sg flag

When I try to check if there is any problem with Steam App it shows:

Steam runtime environment up-to-date!

But it still does not open. I tried looking into my logs to check if there is any issue with Steam App, and nothing is wrong. I tried to remove and reinstall the app, but it does not open.

How can I solve this?
