Bazzite update broken - Shows a black screen after log in (KDE)

I updated some days ago, but upon logging in, I was greeted with a seemingly useless black screen. (KDE, Wayland, Framework 13, AMD CPU).
TTY is available, so if everything breaks, I know I can use bazzite-rollback-helperbazzite-rollback-helper or other commands if needed.

As such, I selected the previous rpm-ostreerpm-ostree version on boot (GRUB), and as expected, I am able to use my computer.

I found this thread that seems identical to my issue: #After updating bazzite, I am hit with a black screen on desktop mode
However, the solution was to reinstall Bazzite, and After updating bazzite, I am hit with a black screen on desktop mode.

Attachment is the output of

rpm-ostree status

rpm-ostree status

. I have no idea what the red line means.
@Sean.exe suggested to pin the previous version (the one I am on right now), but I am unsure of how to do that.

So, I have three questions:

1. How do I pin the previous version (the one that I am using right now)?
2. After doing that, I can safely update without "removing" the working version, right?
3. What does the SecAdvisories: 1 unknown severity, 7 moderate, 5 importantSecAdvisories: 1 unknown severity, 7 moderate, 5 important mean?

Thanks in advance!

Solution

@DD (ping when you reply) run rpm-ostree status -vrpm-ostree status -v. You'll an index next to each version, in parenthesis. See which number your current version is. I expect it will be two based on the order they show up here. (The count starts at zero.) Run that command to double check me on that, and then run sudo ostree admin pin 2sudo ostree admin pin 2. Run rpm-ostree status -vrpm-ostree status -v and under your current version it should say "Pinned: yes". That means it will continue to show up in your bootloader until you unpin it.
