There’s a related bug where the deck is trying to connect to the Internet to verify Steam. A way to fix it is with a directly connected Ethernet adapter (or using your phone as a tethered hot spot)
If that doesn’t work, you can reinstall steamOS without wiping your user data or games.

Holoiso works okay if you’re frustrated and don’t mind starting over.
More likely to RMA than go that route. Valve should’ve QA’d their updates so should cost em some money if they’re gonna push untested stuff to prod. If you gotta wipe and start over, best to do it with a fresh deck.
I did that with the deck I received last October because the battery was broken and wouldn’t perform under load. I’ve always treated my systems mobile and desktop as simple computers I can tinker with so personally I’m not bothered with using a different than stock os.
Yeah I don’t mind tinkering, work in dev so get extra annoyed when things like this happen in production, no way soft bricking should even be in the realm of acceptable possibilities for an update. Shit happens though I guess 🤷
Just FYI this seems to be occurring with lots of decks after the most recent Beta update…may want to roll stable for a bit or avoid rebooting till a new update is out.
