Im a total child in terms oft Linux distros. Since im sick of Microsoft i decided to switch my gaming completely to Linux (Xbox to Tower with bazzite, switch to steamdeck). Im quite happy that i installed the distro by my self and found the place where i was able to change the keyboard layout. Because i want to play in my livingroom form the couch i got a bluetooth keyboard. The mouse i already have connected perfectly the keyboard didnt. I tried finding a solution online but soon realised that i have to learn to read the Linux lingo.

Can please someone teach me or point me in the right direction were i can learn the basics. Treat me like i know nothing about distros (because i dont) and PC (because i barely do).

This is also to try the Linux community. Show me what you got.

Edit: First of all, im very happy how this turned out. You people are very kind. I did manage to connect everything and got it running. Now i need to find out why dota 2 isnt running smothly.

Well today I learned.
I didn't think "third party" like homebrew would be preferred over ostree-rpm, but makes sense that you shouldn't change too much from the tested main image.

For anybody else, here's the exact caveats with rpm-ostree: https://docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software/rpm-ostree/#major-caveats-using-rpm-ostree

Personally I mainly used it for fcitx5 language input method some years ago, but I see now that fcitx5 is included in Bazzite, and also that it should work as a flatpak or in distrobox, https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/issues/2996
