Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/games-on-whales/gow/issues/342

The Problem:
I have been having trouble launching some games with an error message about not being able to find an OpenGL library. This issue can occur on bare metal desktop installs as demonstrated here.

The Work Around:
sudo docker exec WolfSteam_f7cee0...<id string> apt update && apt install libopengl0 -y
In short the missing library just needs to be installed.

The Solution:
Install libopengl0 in the docker image for Steam. My knowledge of Docker is not good enough to be able to submit this change myself.

I was having similar issues with a Minecraft modpack, so I fixed this for the PrismLauncher in #330 (which has not been merged yet). Maybe it would be a good idea to do this change in the base image instead?
