[SOLVED] Steam broken on fresh install coredumped in libSDL2-2.0.so.0

I started having this problem around 3 months ago, waited for updates and it did not solve, reinstalled the system today but still could not make it work.

I would like some help debugging and eventually solving this problem. I know some other threads have similar problems but none was helpful to me.

I have another linux install in a SSD sata that works with the same hardware, but in my nvme install it does not work.

Re: [SOLVED] Steam broken on fresh install coredumped in libSDL2-2.0.so.0

I have been debugging this problem, and it seems that a line with:

 export "$(dbus-launch)" 

I don't even know what it is there for, but it seems to be the cause of my problem.
