That's the part of France that I want to visit.
Steam also has a lot of other stores selling their games though. Unless epic is giving it away for free, I'm probably going to get a better deal through a fanatical bundle or someone else than I would on epic.
I see some larger publishers bemoan the fact that Epic hasn't caught on, but it should be pretty obvious why. Markets that favor the buyer more than they favor sellers will typically attract the largest user base, and the sellers don't have a choice to not sell where the buyers are.
Epic giving away free games is a nice buyer friendly action, but literally everything else they've done, from paid exclusives to poor client experience isn't favorable to buyers. They've created a market that no buyers want to use unless the product is free or literally not available anywhere else.
Giving publishers/devs better cuts is great, but it does nothing for you if all the buyers are on Steam instead.
Valve pushed a beta client update this morning that among other things fixed a login issue:
Fixed a rare bug that could cause the login page to continuously fail with "error 11" until the client was restarted.
So based on that maybe try restarting the client if you're already having trouble. Could be completely unrelated issue though.
That actually came up in some of the early ROG Ally reviews. Some reviewers found that old steam games wouldn't run on it, but they would run on the steam deck.
The top seller chart only covers around 2 weeks of time if I recall right, and the Steam Deck has been near the top of it for years now.
Clearly a shining beacon of trans-rights.

You're good, no shame in asking questions.
Go to ProtonDB and link your steam account.
I live in the US, and I have dozens of people from my contacts who have it installed. I don't know how many are actively using it, but it's definitely a common app for people to have.
Telegram is a messaging app, if you install it you'll be presented with a list of people from your contact list that have it installed as well. You can message these people through the app, and that's about it.
Telegram also supports group chats, and several apps/etc use these group chats for support and discussion. There are also some group chats used for illegal activity, but you can't discover these through the app itself. You would have to get in touch with these groups on another website, and be given an invite link to their telegram chat. The only thing that makes telegram more popular for illegal activity (afaik) is that you can have private group chats without government/telegram oversight.
That's unfortunate, full system freezes like that are sometimes because you ran out of ram/VRAM. If that was what happened, the SteamOS Beta uses zram which should prevent this once the change makes it to stable. In the meantime you could use something like Cryoutilites to increase your swap file size, which should also prevent crashes like that.
