your .bashrc might be broken, cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ~/.bashrc and if you have a .bashrc.d folder in your $HOME rename that temporarily so you can figure out where it breaks

Are you able to get to a tty or desktop mode? For me (who has the same issue) I can still navigate game mode even though I can't see it. So I press steam button on my deck, then dpad up, then A button, then d-pad down 4 times, then A button again. That boots me to desktop mode If you have a keyboard Ctrl+alt+f4 should take you to a tty

It navigates the menu to select "switch to desktop mode" From a tty entering steamos-session-select plasma should take you to desktop mode

Yeah I couldn't get to one either just now, thankfully blind navigation with the controls still works. I ran rpm-ostree upgrade but issue still remains

Yeah there's also this. https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/issues/771 Unfortunately until a dev can reproduce this issue themselves we may be a bit stuck.

@PipPaine @Alex&Indie did you find a workaround to your broken gamescope issue? Rollbacks, upgrades, rebasing to earlier versions that worked before I did rpm-ostree upgrade all still have black screen gamescope on boot so I'm thinking it must be either something in the kernel, bios or home folder that has changed to cause it to persist throughout

Okay thanks, I'm trying to avoid that myself. It's my main computer. It does seem the "return to game mode" .desktop file does launch game mode successfully at least
