Steam doesn't work on Termux proot
So recently i installed Debian through proot-distro, so i installed Box64, Box86 then compiled them, after that i ran "install_steam.sh" from Box86 folder, then it works normally so as i thought it should work normally with "steam" but when running it i got this error
ziad@localhost:~$ steam

I searched a lot and found that "box86 ~/box86/tests/bash" then "steam" could fix it, but it gives me this error
