hi im receiving an error (see attached picture) when switching to desktop mode on every reboot and cold boot (from shut down state to power on) the error does not re-appear after receiving it if i switch back to gaming mode then back to desktop again however if i reboot or shut down and power on it shows up if i enter desktop mode.. also i am booting into gaming mode directly... also the command "echo $DISPLAY" outputs :0

I have the same issue as well on my steam deck
I followed that link in the message but its not really helpful in solving it as the solution states if you can't launch steam after trying the steps to contact valve.. but steam launches fine even after or if receiving this so.. not sure what is happening.
It's a race condition that needs resolving
We'll look into it, but you can just launch Steam anytime this happens and it will immediately work
Also want to note (if it helps track it down) anytime "ujust update" is ran then either reboot or shutdown it shows up on the next boot when entering desktop mode
Not sure if its a direct cause or not though
You should find that skipping running that and just switching between game mode and the desktop should result in the same thing
I don't believe the updates are related at all
Ok good to know i wasn't 100% sure so i figured it was worth mentioning just incase.
