What it says on the tin: if I launch a game through Steam it's in software mode, if I run the game without Steam it runs great.

Debian 10 (Buster). However, problem resolved.

On Tuesday I couldn't get my GPU to accelerate anything, with or without Steam. I tried to full-upgrade to Debian 11, hoping for better drivers, but was met with libc6 trying to go Tasmanian Devil on my ass - so I installed Bullseye and managed to save /home.
