No worries! I ended up just getting so frustrated with trying to figure it out and just having the console return a web link to a guide that may as well be Babylonian to me, so I'm currently installing CachyOS.
Also it seems like Bazzite hated my multi monitor setup of 1440p 21:9 and a 4k 16:9 display located 10 meters away in a different room. PLM does this weird flickery bullshit and if I try to maximize a window on the ultrawide monitor, it would just left justify a 16:9 window and leave 1/5 of the screen showing only desktop.
Experimentation is good, CachyOS allows for using the AUR for any sort of package you'd need vs. needing to containerize everything on bazzite. The multi-monitor setup and flickering could be a KDE-specific bug.
Unfortunately you still have to read: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Plex
Accept your GNOME masters, they know best
But if you have a Nvidia GPU then it's probably that (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA). I had an Nvidia GPU and that monstrosity would completely fry my display after a suspend that I would have to restart my computer and Nshittia has not fixed it in 4 years.
Oh yeah, it's all about nshittia for me. Unfortunately I have a 4070Ti and like to use DLSS4 to play games at 4k60 with all the rtx bullshit, my wife has a 1080
I think Gnome is really pretty and minimalistic, it feels like a great laptop DE to me. But I kinda treat my desktop like a workstation when I'm not gaming and I really like the KDE Human Interface Guidelines. They just work really nice for my brain, so apps feel a lot more intuitive to use than GTK apps tend to.
Material Design 1 and 2 also really worked nice for my brain, I miss when it was prevalent. Play Music was so much nicer to use and look at than Spotify is.
