Rebase to normal Bazzite?

Sorry if worded weird, i installed Bazzite with gaming mode, but i've decided I like using my 2nd monitor too much to auto-boot to steam on launch, is there anyway to simply disable launching to steam on start?

yeah you can rebase to the desktop image sadly the desktop images don't have game mode at all. This covers how you rebase to other images https://docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software/Updates_Rollbacks_and_Rebasing/rebase_guide/ and there are all the bazzite images available https://docs.bazzite.gg/General/FAQ/#bazzite-image-chart. Be careful that you don't switch between gnome and kde where you rebase.

You could also try an alternative. I often press CTRL+ALT+F2. log in via terminal. then run startplasma-wayland (assuming that you using KDE). Then you can switch between game mode and desktop mode with CTRL+ALT+F1 and CTRL+ALT+F2 It works well for if you want to google something or check something on discord while you are playing a game

yes it auto logs you into desktop instead and the "return to gamemode" will send you back to gamemode
