Switch from Wayland to Xorg? (Steam Deck)
I picked Steam Deck Gnome variant when installing Bazzite on my Steam Deck. Seems like the default Gnome installation is Wayland.
While trying to remotely use it on a bigger device (my laptop) I have discovered that RDP server does not work under Wayland environments, so I'm interested to try out an Xorg desktop environment.
Two options:
1. Enter Gnome with Xorg
2. Install some other Xorg-supported DE or WM
So far I see no display manager or login screen for me to choose the DE/WM.
Guidance on either options will be greatly helpful to me. Thanks!

use sunshine + moonlight, x11 is dead and not supported
tried
steamdeck's hardware display is 10:16 vertical display
rotated correctly through software
but either moonlight or sunshine doesnt get it
I'm not sure which
and asked for support in moonlight server without much response 😔
i believe sunshine should handle that throught some setting
maybe try asking in the sunshine server rather than moonlight
Gnome has built in support for RDP and it even works great on Wayland
I use it all the time on my steam deck tuning bazzite gnome
