I’ve had better luck using the Flatpak version of Steam than either the repo version or downloaded from Steam. On 22.04 I could not get the Gnome launcher to work at all for either and had to use the terminal. No issues using the Flatpak version. It also works with Proton-Up, which is also available as a Flatpak.
As for your issue specifically, you could look at the logs, but the only way I know to do that is via the Terminal, and you mentioned you don’t want to do that.
I started it up using terminal with logs, but I'm stuck again :/
Idk if it logs it as the system would just hard crash and i had to do a full restart either by pulling the plug out or holding down the button
It will most definitely be logged if it’s Gnome crashing. If the entire system is crashing that’s a very different story, and if you’re hard resetting it sounds like a system crash, not Gnome specifically. Depending on how it crashes, there may be logs.
