Unable to switch to Desktop mode

I'm running bazzite-deck on Rog Ally X. I'm having some issues when I try to switch to Desktop Mode. It hangs with a black screen and an underscore top left. If I leave it too long (5-10 minutes) it will eventually go to Desktop mode but Steam crashes and asks me for a login again.

Rebooting or going back to game mode crashes again and asks for a Steam login. Sometimes after logging in on Gamemode and restarting it will keep me logged in, but I'm not able to go to Desktop mode and it will crash/reset Steam.

These are the
journalctl

What I've tried that did not work.
Rebasing to an older version (20250315).
Using
ujust fix-reset-steam
ujust fix-reset-steam


One thing to note is that I'm waiting for my eGPU dock to arrive and went ahead and installed
all-ways-egpu
all-ways-egpu
and
ujust install-lact
ujust install-lact
. I have not run either of those after installing. Could this be related to my crashes?
