[SOLVED]Steam fails to open

If i try and open steam it will popup "verifying installation" and then it will shut down, opening steam in the terminal will output this

glXChooseVisual failedsrc/steamUI/Main.cpp (387) : Assertion Failed: Error: glXChooseVisual failedsrc/steamUI/Main.cpp (387) : Assertion Failed: Error: glXChooseVisual failedsteamwebhelper.sh[4542]: glibc >= 2.34, partially disabling sandbox until CEF supports clone3()crash_20220529205618_8.dmp[4566]: Uploading dump (out-of-process)/tmp/dumps/crash_20220529205618_8.dmp/home/matt/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 794: 4532 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$STEAMROOT/$STEAMEXEPATH" "$@"[matt@toetickler ~]$ assert_20220529205617_6.dmp[4537]: Finished uploading minidump (out-of-process): success = yesassert_20220529205617_6.dmp[4537]: response: CrashID=bp-6e263579-79ab-43f9-91f3-84e1b2220529assert_20220529205617_6.dmp[4537]: file ''/tmp/dumps/assert_20220529205617_6.dmp'', upload yes: ''CrashID=bp-6e263579-79ab-43f9-91f3-84e1b2220529''crash_20220529205618_8.dmp[4566]: Finished uploading minidump (out-of-process): success = yescrash_20220529205618_8.dmp[4566]: response: CrashID=bp-6f922005-3ef7-4e71-8ba0-8ff792220529crash_20220529205618_8.dmp[4566]: file ''/tmp/dumps/crash_20220529205618_8.dmp'', upload yes: ''CrashID=bp-6f922005-3ef7-4e71-8ba0-8ff792220529''

and i have tried reinstalling it
