Screen Lock on Gnome Version?

I recently replaced SteamOS on my Steam Deck with Bazzite. So far I'm enjoying it, I work as a web developer and it's been much easier to install what I need for my development environment. And I enjoy being able to use Gnome rather than KDE.

That being said, I'm spoiled to being able to lock my workstation by hitting Win Key + L whenever I leave my desk. Steam OS didn't have this functionality easily accessible by default, but I figured out this workaround a long time ago:

My question is whether it's possible to lock the screen when using Gnome on Bazzite. The option is missing, and from what I can tell it's because it's using SDDM rather than GDM. Is there any workaround? I really don't like leaving my computer unlocked for anybody while I step away from my desk.
