Remote into my Bazzite Desktop Options?

questionbug
I've been using bazzite on my main pc for a few weeks.
The one issue I find with Bazzite is Remote Access options.

Option 1: Nomachine help please
I've installed Nomachine, with instructions into for installs on immutable devices. However, unlike other distros, it requires someone to login on host device for before I can remote into my Bazzite system with Nomachine client.

This is the best option I've found so far to remote into my system, except it requires login before Nomachine server and services are running. Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Option 2: Built in Remote Desktop
My second option that I tried without success is Bazzite KDE Built in remote desktop. I clicked on user to allow remote accesss, clicked on "Auto Start" service, and enabled Remote desktop. When connecting to my Bazzite machine with RDP, it goes to Black Screen and immediately closes. There is very little documentation or examples provided online. I've even seen posts of users, installing Bazzite and Remote Desktop just doesn't work, even with latest version Bazzite.

I installed Bluefin onto another machine, just to compare other Immutable OS options and verify built in Remote Desktop. It just works. No user login required, even after reboot.

The main issue I'm having with Bazzite is remote into system. Bazzite REQUIRES LOGIN before any of remote desktop options to work. Even Sunshine/Moonlight will not work and requires user to login before these services can allow remote access.
I'd prefer to use the built in Remote Desktop of Bazzite and it doesn't even work. The sessions issue is something I can live with. I really like Bazzite and requiring Login for remote services to launch/run defeats the purpose of remote access.
If there is any way to allow NoMachine services to run at startup, without require login I'd also take this solution as well.

Please, any assistance would be much appreciated.
