Cannot get back into game mode

Hey there, guys.
I just installed bazzite on a desktop computer which I intend to use with my TV, but the "return to game mode" shortcut stopped working.
When I double click it, the screen goes black, and then it loads straight back into desktop mode.
Further more, the steam client remains logged out, and it's updated after every boot.

I've already tried google-ing for solutions, and I found this thread.
It describes the exact same problem I'm experiencing:

However, none of the proposed steps managed to fix the issue.

Is this the same issue? Maybe the fix will help.
