I’m sure no one in this community needs to be convinced to try Linux. But I love it every time I see a non-Linux person trying Linux and showing other people that it works. (Also nice to see that Jeff Gerstmann is still around and doing alright after getting screwed over by Gamespot for like 15 years.)
OP topic is about Bazzite.
Posts comment about how entirely different Linux distro has some problems.
Thinks ‘if you download a .exe and click next a few times, it usually works’.
Has no idea what a flatpak is or how they work.
Interperets being called a beginner at linux and being told said entirely different linux distro is not for beginners as being called dumb.
… sigh.
Yeah, you are at beginner at linux.
Your experience with Windows as an OS is almost entirely irrelevant to any ability you may or may not have with linux.
Maybe either keep sticking with distros oriented toward beginners at linux, or, learn more about and become more experienced with linux, so you can use distros that are not targetted at beginners, where more advanced users are assumed to be capable of doing some of their own investigation and problem solving.
As an example:
… why didn’t the intial btrfs attempt at setting up cachyOS work?
If you were a more advanced linux user, you might have actually noted a specific error that was thrown out, been able to do some research into why that error got thrown, where the problem stems from, what the state of the filesystem was prior to attempting and failing to format it, what part of the formatting process failed, whether or not some hardware incompatibility or error was part of the problem, etc.
If that all sounds too complicated or like gobbledygoop… you are a beginner at linux.
The vast majority of Arch based distros are basically experimental, as in, you should expect them to break and often not work properly, for one reason or another.
