It's not the 1960s you don't need your punch cards any more
You installed it in the same week that most of the Ublue atomic spins like Bazzite launched their own store app called Bazaar that only shows flatpaks from Flathub and isn't slow as dirt like KDE Discover. It's pretty nice.
Me, GNOME's biggest fan, silently amused.
Anyway you can change it by right clicking on the bottom panel and switching it off.
The floating panel in KDE is adaptive, so it will attach itself to the bottom when a window is maximized or hovers over it. This change was made almost 2 years ago when Plasma 6 was first released.

Sickening. It knows how it should behave but refuses. Whoever came up with that should be shot.

Are you on the GNOME or KDE variant? Sounds like you've fixed it either way.
I've been running Bazzite KDE for a little over a year and evangelize about atomic desktops every opportunity I get. I recommend only Bazzite or Bluefin/Aurora for 99% of people.
Happy to help answer any questions or solve any annoyances if they come up!
KDE, which is part of what made me so mad - it's meant to be the windows-like! Now I've worked out how the desktop works I'm really enjoying the fine tuning though, it really lets you get things exactly to your liking.
The only annoyance I've had was copying my profile into Firefox, which required some reading about flatpaks and flatseal, but I do have a question about the file systems: I've got a second drive just for my steam games formatted in ext4. It seems to work fine so I'm probably just going to leave it as is, but is there any reason to change it to btrfs like the main drive?

Its where GNOME heretics go to be buried in 10,000 checkboxes and layers of customization options and small clickable areas. /joke
but is there any reason to change it to btrfs like the main drive?
No reason, any kernel filesystem should support saturating a disk drive. You can use BTRFS if you specifically want compression, subvolumes and features like btrfs send/receive but real world performance for games will not observably change.
It's fine to leave it ext4. Like the other person said, it has some nice stuff like compression, so I personally reformatted my drives but I had enough internal space to just move things over rq and then right back.
As long as you aren't trying to use something like NTFS and things common with Windows, you shouldn't have any problems.
I dont like Discord but I do highly recommend the Ublue Discord for Bazzite. They're very helpful. They will be very blunt about telling you something isn't supported and they won't help you with it though. Like the NTFS example.
i dont get what you mean by floating taskbar.
you mean like plasma 6, or what some people do with the topbar on some wms?
