Remove the .zip for the .zst core dump. If I'm getting random Steam client crashes, should I be trying to read the recent coredumps in ls -ltr /var/lib/systemd/coredump/*gamescope* ?

It may be better to report this to the chimeraos devs instead. The crashes are in gamescope and the coredump list doesn't show steam.
