Unable to switch to Desktop mode
I'm running bazzite-deck on Rog Ally X. I'm having some issues when I try to switch to Desktop Mode. It hangs with a black screen and an underscore top left. If I leave it too long (5-10 minutes) it will eventually go to Desktop mode but Steam crashes and asks me for a login again.
Rebooting or going back to game mode crashes again and asks for a Steam login. Sometimes after logging in on Gamemode and restarting it will keep me logged in, but I'm not able to go to Desktop mode and it will crash/reset Steam.
These are the

What I've tried that did not work.
Rebasing to an older version (20250315).
Using ujust fix-reset-steam
One thing to note is that I'm waiting for my eGPU dock to arrive and went ahead and installed all-ways-egpu and ujust install-lact. I have not run either of those after installing. Could this be related to my crashes?1 Reply
I uninstalled LACT and all-ways-egpu. Neither of them had any service started or initialised. Same result, cannot switch to Desktop mode.
Whats interesting is that when I disconnected the USB-C dock (connected to TV via HDMI) I was able to switch between game mode and desktop. Once I connected it to my TV again then the same issue happened and I'm not able to go in Desktop mode while on external display.
