I'm quite new to linux, so forgive me if this is obvious, but I have been struggling to get steam to run, from a fresh install it returns this

Failed to set the new pressure in the guest: could not connect to muvm server: No such file or directory (os error 2)
No IPv6 nameserver available for NDP/DHCPv6
Using default interface naming scheme 'v259'.
bin_steam.sh[232]: Setting up Steam content in /home/bard/.local/share/Steam
steam.sh[232]: Running Steam on fedora-asahi-remix 44 64-bit
steam.sh[232]: STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
setup.sh[322]: Updating Steam runtime environment...
Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified


(zenity:330): Gtk-WARNING **: 19:30:52.103: Failed to open display

and then a while later is returns this and closes the "Launching Steam" window

Steam quit
Aborting
Qt says we're gone, aborting=True

I have an M1 mac, with fedora minimal dual booted via asahi, running the i3 window manager.

Again, sorry is this is obvious I really did try to troubleshoot for a while, but I just couldn't find anything that I could get to work.
