I would try it a couple of ways. If the dummy account doesn't work when you make it in the 0427 image, try making it from the command line on the bad image and log into that one.

regarding 1080p/HD streaming, i wonder if a windows VM with HW passthrough would work as a server for sunshine (or even to just use to watch on) . if so, is there an instruction guide to setting up passthrough on Fedora/Bazzite? I am not confident my current old HW will work as a Sunshine Server, and besides, if this passthrough would work, is a bit more convenient

vkcube returns a segmentation fault. It CAN see the GPU, for what it's worth. TF2 crashes at launch, a more modern Source game specifically says "D3D11: Failed to create swapchain! (FL: 11.1, HRESULT: 2147467259)". This is isolated ONLY to Vulkan.
