trying to reinstall on Ally X and got an error
I deleted the relevant partitions so I can add a big exfat one (to share between bazzite and windows) before bazzite takes up space, allowing bazzite to have 100GB and am trying to reinstall bazzite and am getting this error. did I miss something? what do I do so I can install it again while having the exfat?

I'll try shrinking the exfat more
turns out the 100gb partition was kicking around, deleted that trying again
shouldn't be anything in missing right?
if I go into the fedora petition that's kicking around it takes me here
figured out how to properly get rid of the remainder with diskpart!

ok so how much does that actually help me
should be right to try installing again?
I already did the MOK thing so this shouldn't be an issue right?
When you re-installing, Bazzite or Fedora you'll often get that "code 1" error. It's casued by a Fedora folder in your efi partition. Now there are two ways to fix it. Either remove the fedora folder in your efi partition. I have a video guide for this https://youtu.be/GRdz08hJByo but it uses the terminal. Alternatively, it's probably easier to just do manual partitioning which I also have a video for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbxM_1ZJCCc&t=550s
im in bazzite now :)
Great 🙂 glad you came right
should i put whats in their thing in mine for exfat? or are there no additional arguments for that
KDE Partition Manager Auto Mount Guide - Bazzite Documentation
Bazzite is a custom image built upon Fedora Atomic Desktops that brings the best of Linux gaming to all of your devices.
I would guess the same as ntfs but note that you won't be able to play Steam games on it
wait really? went through the trouble so that windows and bazzite can share it lol
maybe winBTFRS then
ppl use microSD cards that share games across both too tho are they not exFAT?
ohhhhh
shouldve read up
should probably just delete it and create another btfrs partition then?
what does shred do
an exfat partition might still work for emulators tho? idk
bwuh
For emulation it will probably work. Proton does some weird symlink stuff that doesn't work on ntfs and exfat. Which makes making a shared game library rather challenging
If you do go with btrfs be careful there are some regedit permissions that you need to do to make the winbtrfs driver work as it should
so ext4 then?
I might be wrong but I think there is only a read only ext4 driver in Windows
So if you want to do a shared game library, it's pretty much winbtrfs is your only choice. Or at least what Bazzite supports
yeah
just trying to get this btfrs to mount at all rn
You might have gone wrong in the /etc/fstab file (which kde partition manager updates). Try run
cat /etc/fstab in the terminal and lets see what the file looks like:D
looks like you came right 🙂
it's not actually adding to steeeam
like I click add drive click the big btfrs the window goes away but nothing happens
you missing some of the settings. for btrfs the settings should be "defaults,compress-force=zstd:3,noatime,lazytime,commit=120,space_cache=v2,nofail" in the documentation.
Also are you able to create files manually on the drive? If not change the ownership to yourself
sudo chown $USER:$USER /var/mnt/gamesyes if I open as admin
the $USER:$USER would be like deck:deck right?
didn't work I think it's not actually applying when I put in those settings? idk
I'll probably give up on most of the partition stuff and like, manage it this way https://youtu.be/uy8mi1pAj8E?si=grDItM3J3fZKH9lI

How to expand your Bazzite partition size in a Windows/Bazzite dual...
After running Bazzite for a few months, you may wish to allocate additional disk space for Bazzite if you are dual-booting Bazzite and Windows on the same drive. We'll be going through the process of how to do that in this guide.

tbh this is all kinda practice bc my bigger SSD hasn't arrived :P
it seems mint can fully read all the relevant file formats? so might be able to use it to transfer stuff between
if winbtfrs doesn't pan out
Doing it that way isn't the worst then Windows has it's space and Bazzite has it's own. I have shared space setup btrfs but I'm in Windows so seldomly that it was pretty pointless lol
yeah and can use a microsd for the stuff I need it for probably
doing a clean install of bazzite just so I don't have to worry about anything leftover
cool. good luck 🤞
should be able to resize the btrfs and NTFS as needed in mint too which seems like. decent setup :3
thank you by the way :)
Cool. No problem. Hope your new setup works out nicely
