bazzite just does not install in any way.

(on a steam deck)
I fear I may be way out of my depths here, and need some help installing properly.
I have used Linux exclusively for a few years now, and never had any distro so completely just not work.

Currently, the installer always errors out before anaconda can launch, but when I did get through to anaconda yesterday, I always hit some error with flat packs not being accessible (?).
I have tried installing fedora silver blue and then rebasing, but anaconda for silver blue is way too zoomed in, so that any confirm, skip ETC. Buttons are just not visible / appear to not exist at all, as I can't even tab to them.
Therefore, I can't install silver blue at all.

Does anyone have any idea what I could try at all?

I have thought about installing with a WM onto an usb-stick and then DD-ing that stick onto the deck's SSD, but I do not trust my terminal skills enough to think I can pull that off.

I have also tagged this question subtle cry for help as a bug as well, as the check hard drive and install option of the bazzite ISO just hard-crashes, and the ISO just does not boot through ventoy at all, both of which I count as bugs.
