Welcome to the forums.

It's just a guess, but in the log we can see:

WARNING: setlocale('en_US.UTF-8') failed, using locale: 'C'. International characters may not work.

The Wiki page specifically points out that:

The following requirements must be fulfilled in order to run Steam on Arch Linux:
* Generated en_US.UTF-8 locale, preventing invalid pointer error.

You don't have en_US.UTF-8 and you're getting a segmentation fault – seems to match the "invalid pointer error" scenario.

You do not need to change the locale you need to have en_US.UTF-8 generated: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Locale … ng_locales
