Note:
Pop 20.04 has dependency issues when installing the new driver. This can be resolved by running sudo apt purge ~nnvidia && sudo apt autoremove and then installing. Also I was only able to get the Flatpak of Steam to run on 20.04 with this driver. The .deb version installs, but would not launch.

The galp5-1650Ti system was able to pass my testing on Pop 22.04. However, I am seeing similar behavior to what I reported when testing the 5.18.10 kernel:

Steam fails to launch in the Nvidia graphics mode. When checking dmesg I see a dump indicating a possible "kernel bug" with the Nvidia gem_drm.c module.

I went back to Hybrid mode to test if Steam worked there, as it was working during the 5.18.10 tests. Steam launched, and I started to log in. But, the log in dialog crashed as I was typing in my verification code. I got 4 of 6 char's typed, before just Steam seized up.

I checked dmesg again at this point, and I am not seeing the same error, but I am see a concerning GPU has fallen off the bus message.

pop-22.04-kudu6-3060: passed except for fractional scaling with mDP and HDMI (not a regression)

in Ubuntu 22.04 on kudu6 while in Nvidia mode steam instantly crashes with a kernel OOPs. Journal log attached:

kudu6-journal.log

update:
Steam only crashes if started via the .desktop file (dock, launcher, app library) but will start without issues if ran in terminal

Update 2:
If I comment out the following two lines in /usr/share/applications/steam.desktop then steam will run fine from dock, launcher, app library.

PrefersNonDefaultGPU=true
X-KDE-RunOnDiscreteGpu=true
