Errors when trying to install Bazzite
Hi all. So... I'm hoping someone here will be able to help me out, since I'm basically at my wit's end.
I'm trying to install Bazzite on an AMD-based home theatre gaming PC. I've tried half a dozen different times, with various partition layouts. I'm not even sure if it's a partitioning problem, to be honest. The error makes no sense.
I've attached photos of 2 of the photos I've seen. There have likely been others.
System specs, if it matters... An older Gigabyte A520 motherboard, with an updated BIOS/UEFI, a Ryzen 5700X3D CPU, a Radeon 7800XT graphics card, 16GB of RAM, a 2TB NVME SSD (this is where I want Bazzite to live), and an external 1TB SSD connected through a USB 3 port, which I'd like to use as an extension of the Steam library.
Dunno what else I could provide. If I can't get past the installation, I might go back to Windows. The system was working fine with that OS installed.
Anyway... If anyone can give me a definitive, 100% fix for this problem, I'd really appreciate it. Might even send you a cookie.

Ok... Replying to my own post here... It would appear that I'm a dummy.
Over the years, I've installed Linux (Fedora, OpenSUSE, SlackWare, Ubuntu) on multiple systems... Always with custom partitioning. So when I was installing Bazzite, it never occurred to me to go with an automatic layout.
I tried one last install attempt after posting, used an automatic partition layout, and it worked.
