Solved [BUG][SOVLED] Will not run on Linux, was working yesterday (Feb 5th vs Feb 6th, 2021)

I'm playing Stardew Valley on Linux (Mint 19.3, specifically) and have had no issues up to this point, even when modding the game. I sat down this morning to fit a few days in before getting my day started, and no dice. I assumed it was a mod acting up at first, so I started scaling back:
-Removed all the mods. No luck.
-Removed SMAPI. No luck.
-Uninstalled Stardew Valley entirely through Steam. Redownloaded the game. No luck.

I noticed before doing the uninstall/reinstall that Steam had supposedly downloaded some Stardew Valley update, though the properties->updates tab for the game says the last update was January 22nd, which is not between February 5th and February 6th.

If this is indeed a thing, it seems like whatever that minor update was broke compatibility for Linux, or at least for my Linuxbox. I'm out of troubleshooting ideas. Anyone got any suggestions?

EDIT: OK, this is weird. I closed Steam. Started it again. It worked fine. I have no idea HOW that fixes anything. But it worked. If you're trying to help someone who's having a similar issue, maybe suggest that solution. It doesn't seem like it *should* fix anything, but it did.
