Can’t get into Desktop mode

Hey all!

So I’m on bazzite-deck-nvidia and it loads into Steam Big Picture on boot perfectly.

But when I try and go to desktop mode, I don’t get any display and my monitor tries to shut off.

Pressing CTRL+ALT+2/3 wakes the monitor back up into the terminal, but when I try CTRL+ALT+1 it goes back to sleep with no display.

I’ve been searching around for a couple of hours, to no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry i forgot to mark this as solved. It was a simple display issue...

I switched from HDMI to DP and then my display worked in desktop mode 🙂
