Emudeck supports ext4 and btrfs btrfs is standard in bazzite but you can switch to ext4 running ujust switch-to-ext4 in the terminal gamemode will then format sdcards as ext4

the gamescope ui should do this by default (but you said it did not work) so you can use kde partition manager in kde or Disks in gnome to format it

if it says you do not have permissions to do anything on the disk then you need to sudo chown /path/to/mount
