Installation Problems

Hi, to begin with, I’m new to Linux, so sorry if this is obvious to some. I'm installing Bazzite on an old Dell Optiplex 7040, which I want to use as a Steam Machine/Steam Link. Until now, I’ve used it for that purpose with Linux Mint.

The installation is going great until the second restart, where I just land on a command window where I can log in and use the ujust commands. However, I don't know what I need to do from here, how to get to Gaming Mode, or how to get back to the desktop.

System Info:

CPU: Intel Core i5-6500T @ 2.50GHz
RAM: 8 GB DDR4 SDRAM
Storage Capacity: 500 GB SSD

Thanks for any help.
Solution
gamemode session will not work on that igpu
you will need an intel arc card or an RDNA gpu (polaris worked before but there is a bug or regression upstream that stops it from working)
