Details
When launching TF2 it starts its normal launch process, but I assume when trying to create the window it errors out and turns off my second monitor. It fully disables it at an OS level and requires me going into my settings to re-enable it, it also requires me to reset my primary monitor. After this happens the game then stops launching and switches back to the play button in the steam library.
I have managed to get the game to "properly" launch once, during that time I managed to get to the loading screen, the game then locked up and froze my DE forcing me to swap to a TTY to force a restart.
Running the game through the command line is unsuccessful as it errors out with this message:
./tf_linux64: error while loading shared libraries: libmimalloc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
a file called tf_linux64_d3d9.log has also now appeared after launching the game through steam:

Steps to reproduce
- Use Arch Linux with KDE 6
- Install TF2
- Launch the game
Can re-create on Linux Mint.
First monitor shuts off and permanently is not available until re-start. Crashes immediately.
Same result regardless of launch flags
For me the log file seems to end prematurely, the last line being info: Queue families:. The size of the log is exactly 8192B.

Can replicate this issue on Opensuse Tumbleweed. OpenGL works but vulkan blanks my secondary and crashes then a second start causes it to load indefinably requiring a tty to reboot
I'm having a similar issue. On Pop!_OS 22.04, launching TF2 not only crashes the game, but also causes my primary monitor's configuration to switch from X screen 0 to disabled in Nvidia X Server settings, so the monitor is completely disabled. My secondary monitor stays enabled. Primary is a 1440p, 144hz monitor, and secondary is configured to be to the left of primary (with bottom edges aligned) at 1080p 60hz. Using X11/Xorg (not wayland) with an RTX 2070 Super. This is true after removing all launch options, as well as deleting my custom and cfg folders.
Using the -windowed -noborder launch options fixes those issues, but since Gnome's status bar stays, the bottom portion of TF2's window is cut off, so it isn't an ideal solution. Additionally, if I try to switch it back to fullscreen in TF2's in-game settings, I encounter the "primary monitor disabled" issue again.
Using -gl (or simply the "Legacy OpenGL" launch option) even with fullscreen seems to completely fix it. However, as that option seems like it will be depreciated in the future, that also isn't an ideal solution. It's at least a good temporary workaround for those reading this.
Edit: some clarification
@neilunger temporary fix works for me, but as they said, this is not a good fix given that flag is marked for deprecation
As another note, I had the issue happen with both the play TF2 option and the legacy OpenGL option
Someone similar is happening to me, as the game will only launch in windowed mode. Strangely, if I set the game to fullscreen in the ingame settings menu after the fact it runs fine in fullscreen. This is on Debian 12 testing with AMDGPU 6.0.60000-1697589.22.04
I can reproduce the same. Also, I can reproduce the workaround like @bracketracket in the same OS and GPU.

I'm still experiencing this issue on an up-to-date version of Pop!_OS 22.04 after TF2's April 22nd update. Some things I tried to get around the issue:
- Uninstalling the game, manually deleting all remaining game files, and then reinstalling the game
- Completely resetting TF2's settings by deleting the contents of
STEAM_FOLDER/userdata/USER_ID/440/remote/cfg/config.cfg, then launching the game (in OpenGL mode) with-novid -autoconfig -default +host_writeconfig config.cfg full +mat_savechanges +quit - As some other commenters mentioned, making sure there are no other programs open and no other programs on my second monitor
Still, when launching with Vulkan and zero launch arguments, the game would briefly launch, the game window would "jiggle" for a second or two (Counter Strike 2 also did this during the first week or so of its release), then TF2 will crash and disable my primary monitor. Only opening in Legacy OpenGL (or launching in Windowed mode) will get around these issues.

I've just discovered Vulkan fullscreen will finally work on my setup if I use the -freq 144 launch argument (since I'm using a 144hz monitor). I'd guess the issue is the game trying to change the monitor's refresh rate or something, and this gets around it. Oddly, the game will minimize itself shortly after launch, but that's the only issue I've seen so far after using -freq. Seems to be the best workaround so far
Replying to #5704 (comment)
Adding the -refresh argument works too, but in my case the game doesn't minimize, played a few hours without issue.
Valve developer wiki says -refresh, -refreshrate, and -freq are all the same. As expected, they all minimize my game shortly after launch. And after further testing, sometimes my game will minimize on level transition too.

Thanks, setting -freq 240 seemed to fix the odd lag that was caused by launching the game for me.

Why doesn't that page declare what the default value is for refresh? :s

@neilunger Hi. I was having very similar issues to yours since I'm on Pop OS too. One of the things that fixed it for me at first was installing Steam's .deb instead of the Flatpak version on the Pop Shop. That fixed the issue of TF2 crashing (and freezing my whole computer in the process), but I was still having another issue where TF2 launching on fullscreen would set my display rate back to 60hz and I had to manually revert it in the OS's settings. Using -freq has fixed that issue now after reading your experience, even if my game minimizes on getting to the main menu as well.
Anyway, if you care to answer, are you on the Flatpak version of Steam? Or the .deb? Just wanna get an idea of what could be happening and whether we can cross-check our experiences.
I'm having continual problems with TF2 having a band along the top. It seems to be fixed SOMETIMES by switching to windowed, back to full screen... often having to do it multiple times. Sometimes it doesn't happen and TF2 "just works" first time. Pretty sure this is a bug.
Forcing the Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 (sniper) option fixes it for me, although preloading libmimalloc.so would also probably work, havent tried yet.
I've moved over to nixOS since having this issue and upgraded my system specs to use a NVIDIA RTX 3090 and a Ryzen 7800X3D. The issue persists
@neilunger your frequency fix has now fixed the issue for me, so I think your assumption about the game trying to set the frequency is correct. Its such strange behavior that was somehow missed in development as this seems to be a wide enough spread issue.
Issue still persists. Using -freq 144 does work to fix it.
