Booted into Bazzite today after ~3 months and there is...nothing?

Just a black screen, no bar, no desktop rightclick, no edit mode. The only thing that works is win + E and Ctrl + Alt + Del. Had to "Open Folder with..." in Dolphin search trough all apps and open settings, steam, discord through that. My Files and Apps appear to be there but desktop is just black and can' t do anything. Help please
Solution
Try the following:

* Before you log in press CTRL+ALT+F2, this will give you a TTY terminal
* Log in with your username and typically while you type your password nothing will be displayed
* Now we are going to move the KDE Plasma settings file, which will reset your settings. The command is
mv ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc-old
mv ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc-old
(you can use tab to help autocomplete the command while you are typing it)
* Now once you have moved the file via the terminal. Switch back to the login screen by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1
* Now when you log in, hopefully your desktop will show up.
* Note that you will need to reconfigure your pinned applications and default applications again
