bazzite-gnome-nvidia sunshine not autostarting

I'm getting an issue in bazzite-gnome-nvidia:testing-41.20250101 where the sunshine service is failing to startup automatically. Is anyone else on the bazzite-gnome-nvidia image or any other gnome images experiencing this problem? This is what I'm seeing in my log.
sunshine[6282]: Error: Client failure: Daemon connection failed
sunshine[6282]: Error reading events from display: Broken pipe
systemd[1624]: sunshine.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
systemd[1624]: sunshine.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

If I start the service manually with systemctl enable --user --now sunshine.service it starts without issues. I'm thinking that the service is trying to launch too early, but that's just a guess.

I had that same issue on gnome-nvidia, adding to autostart with Ignition solved that for me

I also noticed that with a arrpc service I created. Adding ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 5 in the beginning worked for me, in that case it's a workaround for a workaround so I think it's fine

Thanks Rin. So it might just be an nvidia-gnome specific thing, glad to know it might be a real issue and not just a me issue. I'm going to rebase to bazzite-gnome and see if the issue occurs there too. Oh and it didn't know about Ignition, installing that now Getting the same issue on "bazzite-gnome:testing-41.20250101" going to test on "bazzite-gnome-deck:testing-41.20250101" It's working in bazzite-deck-gnome:testing-41.20250101
