Desktop freezes, becomes unresponsive.
I just got bazzite installed on an old pre-built I've got.
Sometimes when I boot and get to the desktop, it doesn't appear that I'm able to interact with anything. I can move the cursor around, but the icons don't change when I mouse over them and I can't get anything to open.
Yesterday I was able to get rocket League started through steam. I alt-tabbed because the controller didn't work and when I did, the desktop froze again. The music from rocket League continued to play though.
Today, I got rocket League started and was playing around in it. Everything was working fine until I closed it and went back to the desktop, where it froze again.
I can also leave the computer when it's in this frozen state and it will lock the computer. Everything works on the lock screen, and I can type in my password to go back to the desktop, but it's still frozen.
I'm new to Linux, so I'm not really sure what to look at for this.

Installer freezing while setting up installation settings
I've got an old pre-built tower I'm trying to switch over to Bazzite.
I'm able to get into the installer (where I'm able to select English) and then the installer freezes. Sometimes I'm able to get to the second page, and even more rarely I'm able to get into the hard drive selection page, but it (so far) always ends up freezing.
When this happens, I can still move the cursor around, but I'm not able to interact with anything.
I did a sanity check with my laptop, using the same nvme I want to install to, and the same flash drive with the ISO. It worked perfectly there.
