Fresh install won't properly start KDE
Hi! I have to start this post by saying that I have a weird setup. None the less I don't get why this is not working.
I'm doing a VFIO setup. My host OS is Debian, my guest OS is Bazzite.
Previous to doing this, I tried the whole VFIO setup with an Ubuntu guest and all the config worked great. My gpu was recognized inside of Ubuntu and I got to gaming without problems.
Now I'm trying to do the same on Bazzite. After doing a fresh Bazzite install and logging in with my user, I have no GUI. Only Steam pops up. If I do right click on the background I can get to system details which shows correctly the specs I intend to use on this VM. If I try to get to the console by doing right click, it loads for a while but never opens.
I can enter TTY2 and confirm the gpu passthrough with nvidia-smi.
Hardware:
MOBO: B650 AORUS ELITE AX ICE
CPU: Ryzen 9 7950X
iGPU: AMD Radeon™ Graphics (for host Debian)
dGPU: RTX 3090 (for guest Bazzite)
ISO downloaded from official page with options: Desktop, Nvidia RTX, KDE, "No, I want traditional desktop experience"

Welp, after a lot of reinstalls and tries, I just tried the gnome installer and just worked
I have no Idea why the KDE OOTB fails
I even tried to go to older versions and had no luck
