I am trying to install Steam via Ubuntu on WSL. I followed these steps.
When I try to run Steam, it opens and immediately closes the update box Steam usually opens before launching the main window. Here is the output:
steam.sh[408]: Running Steam on ubuntu 22.04 64-bit
steam.sh[408]: STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
setup.sh[478]: Steam runtime environment up-to-date!
steam.sh[408]: Steam client's requirements are satisfied

Looks like steam didn't shutdown cleanly, scheduling immediate update check

The last two lines will repeat over and over and it never opens. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
