Switch from Wayland to Xorg? (Steam Deck)

I picked Steam Deck Gnome variant when installing Bazzite on my Steam Deck. Seems like the default Gnome installation is Wayland.

While trying to remotely use it on a bigger device (my laptop) I have discovered that RDP server does not work under Wayland environments, so I'm interested to try out an Xorg desktop environment.

Two options:
1. Enter Gnome with Xorg
2. Install some other Xorg-supported DE or WM

So far I see no display manager or login screen for me to choose the DE/WM.

Guidance on either options will be greatly helpful to me. Thanks!
