Black screen on first Game mode boot

I just reinstalled bazzite-deck on my LCD Steam Deck using an ISO from 2024-08-10. Everything was going fine, it booted to desktop mode and displayed to my multiple monitors via a dock. I ran topgrade before rebooting.

On the first boot where it would go into Game mode, the backlight kicks on but the screen stays black.

I was running bazzite-deck:stable with Game mode just without issues before the reinstall.

Solution
I think it was me adding
/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/fish
/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/fish
at the end of
.bashrc
.bashrc
, I just ran into the same problem with
bazzite:stable
bazzite:stable
on another machine.

Leaving this here just in case someone else makes the same mistake.
