Bazzite Data Recovery
I have a dualboot setup and shrunk my Windows partition by almost 200GB. I have done this countless times in the past with no issue to make more space for my Bazzite installation, but this time Bazzite refuses to boot. It boots in emergency mode and is read-only. Accessing the ostree filesystem via a live Linux USB doesn't give me access to my home directory; it appears as a file in Dolphin. I am assuming this is a result of the ostree nature of Bazzite.
How can I access my home directory and retrieve my data from my Bazzite installation?

Bazzite installation ultimately fails
While installing Bazzite (Legion Go, GNOME DE, stable) as a dualboot manual install, the installer notes that it fails to create or modify partitions.
However, the UI does remember and save partition modifications and will attempt to apply them when I begin the install.
When the installer errors while creating a partition, it denotes: "Unable to Allocate Requested Partition Scheme". I'm installing Bazzite on an empty 175GB partition that is located directly after a 3.5TB Windows 11 install.
Sometimes even setting the mountpoint of my existing EFI partition will error out with that same error, it isn't a space or corrupt drive issue.
My drive is listed here - Crucial P3 Plus 4TB
When I begin the install, the install fails for an "unknown reason" and I am forced to reboot my device.
