Completely black screen after rebooting for the first time - Help?
Hi there!
I have a desktop pc with the following components:
- CPU: Ryzen 5 2400G
- GPU: Radeon RX570
I've successfully installed bazzite and finished the initial wizard, after rebooting I'm faced with an entirely black screen and I'm not sure of what to do
Most of the issues I've seen on GitHub reference pressing CTRL + ALT + F2 to open the console but I believe due to issues with the GPU, the Keyboard is completely unusable, what should I do?
As an additional detail, I've tried installing bazzite both with and without CSM, with CSM I could see a single underscore character on the top left, without CSM it's not showing anything at all, I'm no expert when it comes to linux, so I'm terribly sorry if I'm doing something wrong 😅

Thought gamescope would only affect games, is really does affect boot as well?
-deck images boot directly into gamescope-session
so yes
you can rebase to a desktop image but you'll lose steam gaming mode
the whole point of installing bazzite was to have a steamdeck interface for my home computer/console, guess I'll have to look elsewhere, right?
might be another linux os with gamescope-session that uses an older gamescope
