Hello, just started using Linux (I'm on cinnamon 21.3) and I'm having some really annoying problems that I can't find solutions for online. (self.linuxmint)

1- Sometimes the file manager just won't open and I get the error "Could not register nemo as a remote: Timeout was reached" when running it through the command line

2- Steam doesn't work most of the time, games won't launch, downloads won't pause and I can't exit out of steam, however, I can still navigate around the app.

Has anyone else ran into these issues and how are they solved?

The other responses are really good, for steam before you try anything else, disable hardware acceleration. Might solve your steam problems.
