Fresh install - black screen after booting

Hello Bazzite community! I'm new!

I built a living room gaming PC out of some spare parts:

- Intel i7-6700K
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
- Standard other stuff - PSU, SSDs, etc.

I was able to boot to the Bazzite installer (I grabbed
bazzite-deck-nvidia-stable-amd64.iso
bazzite-deck-nvidia-stable-amd64.iso
from the website this afternoon), format my SSD, and successfully complete installation. My PC rebooted, I saw a message about it finishing configuration, and it rebooted again. Now, I see my BIOS splash, then GRUB, then a blinking cursor in the upper-left corner, and...nothing. The screen is black, but illuminated.

I'm using a Dell 1080p monitor for now, but plan to connect this to a 4K TV once it's all setup. What am I doing wrong?
