Disable Steam Gaming mode on Startup

Hi, I have just installed bazzite on my laptop and it automatically launches into steam deck mode on startup but because i have an NVIDIA GPU everything is lagging when im in Bigpicture mode. Is there a way too just always lunch into desktop mode from the start? I know you can select it when you download the iso but i think i selected the wrong option and i don't want too reinstall everything again. Thank you for your help πŸ˜„
Solution:
You can rebase to the desktop version without losing anything but the game mode. If you prefer game mode try turning on hardware acceleration. On nvidia that may cause graphical glitches though.

In the steam client go to settings -> Interface -> toggle "Run steam when my computer starts"

open a terminal and run bruh. That will give you an interctive menu where you can choose which image to rebase to. If you're on 1660+ you need the nvidia open version

hmz doesn't seem to list the open variation. If you post the output of rpm-ostree statusI'll give you the manual entry for it
