Boots to desktop instead of Gaming Mode. Forces resign into steam
Specs:
RTX 4070Ti Super
Ryzen 9 7950x3d
64gb DDR5
4TB Gen5nvme (boot)
2tb Gen 4 (not formated)
OS: Bazzite Deck Image Nvidia -KDE(Like STEAM OS) GAME MODE (YES)
ISSUE: When I boot my PC it loads into bazzite and unpacks steam every launch. Forces me to sign back into steam each time and then when I do I click the Return to Gaming Mode desktop shortcut and it sends me into a black screen and kicks me back to desktop acting as a reboot. It then unpacks steam and forces me to sign in again.
I've ran the Bazzite portal and nearly installed every additional add-on. Then I've ran the included system update launcher and when I reset Bazzite Portal launcher is now an unknown app named yafti.desktop
The included Log is was grabbed after clicking Return to Gaming Mode and it reboots

lol having the exact same problem. Reinstalled bazzite like 3 times already for the same problem to keep happening
I did a rebase and re-installed no luck
Just keep getting Zenity unpacking steam every launch

Honestly it seems as though the boot time is extreemly slow because its trying to boot into game mode and then it crashes then boots to desktop and starts the unpacking process

Big Picture mode launches via desktop, but the screen goes black. Audio and inputs still work, and pressing back briefly flickers the display before it goes black again
Big picture works fine when launched through steam but the dedicated Return to Gaming Mode shortcut just crashes to desktop and Re-unpacks steam
Maybe I'll rebase to non-gamemode first
Jesus Oh my there's something wrong with me
I pulled a unforgivable move
And that was installing the AMD image instead of the bazzite. Must've been a misclick or I'm dyslexic or something
May have found my issue I'll report back
Rebasing to the latest Nvidia build fixed my issue.
