Additional context
Steam log: https://gist.github.com/jesperjackson/84abd59cf4e7000f32f07388739801fc
Installed appimagelauncher 2.2.0-5 (via AUR) on Arch and can confirm.
It works if I run steam-native (steam without it’s runtime) and reading the logs above as well as others it seems like AppImageLauncher crashes because it has to use the steam runtime, which includes a version of libcurl incompatible with one it was compiled against.
Unfortunately, the gists have been removed in the meantime. Please provide logs.
Regarding https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/7830, apparently Steam causing the problems. They should not forcefully inject libraries using LD_PRELOAD for no apparent reason. They seem to expect that to work. As an application, you can't really work around that without implementing some complex hacks.
