Launching Terminal (Failed)

Hi there. I decided I'm fed up with windows, so I wanted to try out this distro. Its my first time seriously running linux. I've just done a complete fresh install of Bazzite on my Asus Zephyrus G14, and I can't open the terminal. I got this error message: Launching Terminal (Failed) Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. For extra context I installed from a USB to a fresh ssd, secure boot is off, and I did select the correct version (nvidia/Asus)

Could you download konsole from bazaar and see if that opens?

will do Yeah, konsole opens fine. I guess I'll just use that then?

try opening ptyxis (the default terminal app) from there. This should not be happening.

Also make sure you're fully up to date. Might be addressed already by an update. Smells like a nvidia new driver thing that may have been fixed or will be fixed soon. What error message do you get when it fails?

trying to run ptyxis returns "Failed to register: Timeout was reached". as a sanity check, neofetch works

Can you post the full message after running it? For me it's this before it opens successfully:
