Bazzite is not recognising my laptop's touchpad after logging in

I dual boot windows 11 and Bazzite on separate internal drives on my new ASUS TUF A15

Until yesterday, I have had no problems with Bazzite itself

Yesterday, I experienced a couple of bugs on Bazzite - Steam crashing (it was working well previously), as well as having issues syncing my dropbox - which I have figured out

Anyway, I had to manually power off my laptop a couple of times yesterday due to crashes

Anyway: what's happening now is that Bazzite is not recognising my laptop touchpad after logging in

I can move the mouse around on the login screen, but after logging in, it freezes in the exact same position - towards the bottom right corner of the screen

I can use the trackpad mouse just fine in windows, and I can use a USB mouse in Bazzite.

I get the exact same issue when I boot into os tree 0 or 1, and I have rebooted multiple times yesterday and today

Also, I went into my UEFI settings after this happened and ran full diagnostics. everything was working fine - including the trackpad, the RAM, and the NVME drive that bazzite is installed on

A few days ago - when my system was working well, and before I started to play games on it or tried to set up dropbox, I ran sudo ostree admin pin 0

From searching elsewhere on this discord, I understand that this command pinned a snapshot of my system in its current state. I don't know how to check whether the system is still in the same state as when I ran that command

edit: it looks like the current version is still pinned

I would also appreciate general advice on creating backups, to make sure i'm taking advantage of the space efficiencies of BTRFS; as this is my first time running linux with BTRFS

though i'm not even sure restoring a backup would solve this problem, since i'm having the same issue in ostree 1

here's the output of ujust device-info in case that helps
