"An error occurred while activating your storage configuration" "device is active"
I'm trying to install Bazzite on my ROG Ally X. I already uninstalled windows and when I try to start the installation I get an immediate error saying "an error occurred while activating your storage configuration" "device is active". Someone help me please!

You might have had bitlocker enabled on Windows c drive. When that happens the Bazzite installer fails to remove the bitlocker enabled partition. You can get around this by booting a live USB that has gparted installed and use that to remove the bitlocker partition. Then you should be able to install Bazzite. I did a short video on the process if you not familiar with gparted https://youtu.be/FBGLLkIKp-w

Edit NB: Note that this is not a dual-boot guide, be very careful with your EFI and boot partitions as well as your /etc/fstab file if you decide to remove your Windows partition and have existing Linux ...
