[weavermarquez]

Low Severity: With bazzite version 37.20230221.0 (2023-02-21T16:53:51Z), ChimeraOS desktop crashes after login before anything displays.

Replication Steps:

1. start from KDE login screen after boot.
2. log in with ChimeraOS (gamescope) selected.
3. screen turns to black.
   i. (optional) upon key press, terminal characters show up e.g. ^[, ^D. disappears upon step 5.
4. black screen with mouse cursor visible and movable.
5. desktop session crashes. forced back into KDE login screen.

Workarounds: This issue does not occur with KDE X11 and KDE Wayland. After logging in with the KDE desktop environment, I can also launch Steam and enter Big Picture mode easily.

On Nobara the session is actually created via starting a Plasma Wayland session and then launching gamescope. Returning to desktop then just worked by simply exiting Steam. Maybe that could be implemented here

Albeit I never was able to get it to fallback to X11 and Wayland on Plasma has a few showstoppers at the moment. One issue being Steam Input for the Decks controllers is broken meaning you have to exit Steam after it starts on the desktop to resume using the controller to navigate the desktop

It seems like every implementation comes with minor problems currently

This is resolved in the latest images. Thank you for the report :)
