Games recognize steam deck instead of PC desktop environment

I took the distro suggested to me with my specs. now every game thinks I'm on steam deck.
Its not an issue most of the time, but many games show controller buttons instead of keyboard keys for their UI, which can be a problem.

Would prefer not to reinstall my whole environment, since I customized it a lot already.

Is there a way to make it always default to keyboard?

my specs:

Solution
to rebase to the desktop version you would use the bazzite rebase helper in the terminal with the command
brh rebase bazzite:stable
