Fresh Bazzite install does not boot or launch into gaming mode.
I have installed bazzite on 2 different systems.
here are the systems:
---setup-1---
Ryzen 5 8600G
Asrock A620I
32gb DDR5 7800mhz
Samsung 980 1TB
---setup-2---
Ryzen 5 7600
Asrock B650I
Rx 7800 XT
32gb DDR5 6000mhz
WD Black SN770 2TB
------
On setup 1 Bazzite runs perfect.
On setup 2 it boots into desktop mode and is never able to launch Gaming mode.
After searching for similiar issue's and conducting some testing myself this is what i have done:
On my last attempt, and third reinstall. -> bios reset -> secure boot is disabled. everything els is stock settings.
i reflashed the usb using Balena Etcher with a Steamdeck-stable Iso.
After a fresh and succesfull install i contiue boot after mok management.
The distro boots into desktop mode first.
I see bazzite portal setup and steam prompt for a login at the same time.
I finish the bazzite portal setup succesfull.
Login to steam works, steam functions as expected in desktop mode.
The issue: When attempting to launch gaming mode and allow the prompt to give permission it gives a black screen and then steam is being logged out asking me to login again.
System reboot also causes steam logged after using steam in desktop mode.
Big picture mode from desktop works fine aswell.
I am out of idea's anybody has suggestions ?
I run this on a secondary nvme SSD with the main SSD drive disabled in the Bios (this has a w11 installation)
