-Run <code>strace steam -dev -console 2> steam.logs</code> in the terminal. If <code>strace</code> is not installed, temporarily install it using <code>nix-shell -p strace</code> or <code>nix run nixpkgs#strace -- steam -dev -console 2> steam.logs</code> (if using Flakes).

+ {
+   hardware.graphics.enable = true;
+   hardware.graphics.enable32Bit = true;
