Waydroid Won't Start (Bazzite Deck Gnome)

Hi, I'm having an issue when I try launching Waydroid. I followed the tutorial on the Universal Blue website and after running Step 2, Waydroid refuses to open.

When I run the command:
waydroid show-full-ui

I get the error:
Wayland socket '/run/user/1000/wayland-0' doesn't exist; are you running a Wayland compositor?

Is this because I'm running Gnome or is there a way that it can work? I had a look and it says I'm on X11. Any help would be really appreciated!

Note: I'm on a physical Steam Deck.
