"This folder cant be shared because your user account isnt a member of the "usershares" group.
clicking "make me a group member" doesn't do anything after i inserted my password and restarted the machine.

You'll only be able to add a reference to the usershares group in the /etc/group file with the following command
Then you can add your user to that group with
Then log off and log back in for the change to take effect
Then I found that the Samba service wasn't running which I needed to actually share a folder to we enable and start the smb service
You also need to run to allow Samba sharing (https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1298222632206077993/1298222632206077993) and some reading in the redhat documentation (https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/selinux_users_and_administrators_guide/sect-managing_confined_services-samba-booleans) I couldn't actually access my shares at all otherwise.
At this point you can share your folder with the KDE gui and it should be picked up on a Windows PC
gotcha i see
i tried this, and another one alternative which is just doing this:
sudo systemctl enable sshd
sudo systemctl start sshd
and then typing sftp://<bazzite username>@ip on filezilla or something
