Legion Go won't boot after latest updates
It's kinda difficult to describe, so this will be messy.
I can't get either SteamOS nor Linux to boot after the latest update that came today (?). I updated yesterday, and that's when it happened.
After the Legion Go powers on, I have tried manually booting both SteamOS and Linux, and the same thing happens:
Boot screen shows, after a few seconds the screen goes black. I can see that the screen is still on, and I have even waited for it to drain my battery. Nothing happens. But when I tap the power button, the same boot screen shows and the device turns off. This just happens all the time, except for when the battery got totally drained - after that SteamOS booted normally, and I saw the latest update and tried that to see if it was fixed. No luck :/
Since I can't get to Linux, I can't get any terminal output, so it's hard to give any more information other than I think this happened on the two latest updates.
Are there any other ways, like safe mode or plain UNIX terminal?

you can press ctrl + alt +f2 to open a terminal
my guess is that you might be seeing this issue https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1cmjboo/the_new_update_killed_my_deck/
seems to be decky related
Ah, okay! Then I'm not alone. I'll try to uninstall some decky's if I ever get in
On rog ally update stuck at 99% 😅
Terminal shows "Fedora Login" for a few seconds
You need to login after opening the terminal, then swap to desktop mode
I forget the exact command to open desktop mode, one min
steamos-session-select plasma
Then in desktop mode, go uninstall decky or remove plugins that you think could be badDont even remember how to install/uninstall plugins 😅

Steam Deck: Decky Loader 60 Second Fix (Missing; Broken; Won't Re-I...
Decky Loader worked yesterday - doesn't work today. Maybe it disappeared completely. Perhaps one of your plugins is simply dead or are crashing Decky Loader completely.
What's worse? Re-installing does nothing. Even uninstalling and reinstalling ... does nothing.
In less than a minute, we'll get you working again.

note that i have a LGO on the latest bazzite and it's booting correctly, etc
so i wouldn't be surprised if this is a decky issue

black screen after legion go/bazzite logo
I got terminal to load once, but then i couldn't enter anything on my keyboard... am i going to have to reinstall bazzite? lol
Have you tried clicking CTRL+ALT+F2 when the screen is black after the "failed" boot?
Are there any log-files which I can check for errors? Like systemctl journald?
Yep, it acts like it's frozen
Im gonna reinstall bazzite after work no big deal
it doesnt work
