Bazzite doesn't boot on steam deck
Basically like it says, i'm on a fresh install with the newest image downloaded a few hours ago from the website. The first boot went normal, i set-up everything, logged into steam then rebooted.
It then shows the boot animation, afterward just boots into a black screen.
I tried to CTRL+ALT+F2 to switch TTY, but it doesn't even fully show up before it seems to freeze.
I'm not even able to get to GRUB since i have it set to hide it, but since i can only hard reset the Deck it doesn't seem to recognize that i'm pressing esc.

Well, my way to solve this:
-> Plug deck into a dock with monitor an keyboard access
-> Go into tty2 during boot, then run an update
-> reboot, go into tty2 again on the reboot and wait a bit
-> go back to tty1 and wait till you see language select...

Yes it's a known issue when gamescope crashes it pulls focus from tty when it restarts
As for why it crashed
Buggy kernel fixed now
As for how to fix
In your case probably reinstall
Otherwise live CD commands
Alright, thanks. Yeah reinstall is probably gonna be less of a hassle
Installed the current iso and had this issue today 😦
Same here :/
Well i'm trying to make a working install out of this rn until someone can help me. Atleast with a monitor plugged in i can now get into a terminal

-> fingers crossed it works
-> unplug and select language
also no idea if updating was important here
