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.

Something I haven't seen anyone else here (that probably won't matter if you're just doing basic gaming) is that bazzite is what is called an atomic distro - meaning that key system files are immutable (they can't be altered) and certain directories are also read only.

It means that installing packages with a package manager can be a little bit trickier. Setting up a dev environment can be tricky. And certain other things can be more difficult.

There's a huge chance this won't matter at all to you, but in the event you run into issues like "this directory is read only" or something along those lines, that'll be why.

Again, may never matter but something to keep in mind.
