fresh install fails to load desktop

Hello,
today I decided to switch from windows and wanted to start with a gaming setup.
I will explore options for my studies and development in future but I struggle to have fix my installation.

my .iso is called bazzite-gnome-nvidia-open-stable-live.iso,
so I decided to use GNOME and I have a RTX-4060 with Intel i7 9700K.

The entire installation-progress is fine but as soon as I reboot to log in and work with bazzite,
i am greeted with a dark grey background and have to use ALT+CTRL+F3 to get into the CLI for Login.

My Error-searches are unsuccessful, but i know that:

lsmod | grep nvidia

shows that the drivers are installed.

ls /usr/share/xsessions

is empty and
ls /usr/share/wayland-sessions

gnome.desktop gnome-wayland.desktop

shows, that 2 different desktop-files are available.

I couldnt solve it myself with the help of AI, so I hope to find the solution to my problem here πŸ™


Thank you in advance!
