Ah it did indeed show much more info! I could pick out two things that seemed like error messages, I'll search the internet for them later but gotta run for Christmas celebration in a minute.
When starting Steam it told me "unable to init and enumerate GPUs with Vulkan" and "BInit - unable to initialize Vulkan!", which sounds potentially serious.
On trying to start the games (and maybe at other occasions too) it told me
Glib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_setting_schema_source_lookup: assertion 'source != NULL' failed
I'll look into them when I get the time, but I wanted to write them here anyway for completeness. Thank you for your help!
Make sure you have both your nvidia drivers and vulkan installed. Your errors point to a missing vulkan.

Based on that Id say the Nvidia driver is not working or installed. As others have mentioned PopOs has a setup with nvidia already installed, otherwise will be worth googling it for your specific distro. Good luck!
