I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04.3, and checked the box to install proprietary nvidia drivers. Steam doesn't launch after that. When I do another fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04.3 without checking the box for proprietary things -- Steam works fine. What is the problem with that and how to solve it? I thought it was OK to use open source driver, but Terraria and American Truck Simulator lagged a lot on my 1050 Ti

Actually... This isn't Steam's issue. It's Ubuntu's one. When I do not check the box "install proprietary blah-blah", and then, after successful installing, I just install the nvidia driver, it just works. As it should be. Steam works fine.
But if I do check the box "install proprietary... for graphics, media, Wi-Fi", it doesn't work, and causes lots of crashes if I try to change the drivers.
Ubuntu has to fix that. It's LTS after all.
