Surface Pro 2 crashes immediately and a question about older versions

Hello!
I installed Bazzite on my Surface (using ventoy and grub2 mode like the guide says) and about 20 seconds after reaching the login screen or when I try to log in it crashes and only shows the "surface" boot screen. Hitting the power button does get a reaction: it shows "Bazzite" in the bottom with a little loading animation in the middle and then it shuts off. I guess that means it's not completely frozen?
I thought it could be a KDE related issue but the gnome version does the same.
Trying to launch it again doesn't show the login at all and directly goes to the infinite "surface" boot screen.

I found several people with similar problems on surfaces but nobody seems to have a solution.
This person: πŸ›Ÿbazzite-helpSurface Pro 9 stuck on boot screen logo seems to have more luck with an older version. I wanted to try that version but on the website the version list doesn't go back that far. Is there a place where I can find older versions of bazzite-surface-gnome?

Thank you!
