Desktop Movement
Hello all, just here from Windows. Ive booted up Bazzite and the desktop keeps moving. There is also a small white bar upper left that activates it. When it moves it makes a square in the middle of the screen and shows icons on the bottom, then when it moves away the square goes full screen and hides the icons. Ive tried searching for desktop effects and turning off zoom in accessibility but the movement continues. Is there a way to turn it off?

You might be seeing the default "hot corners" effect in KDE. Top-left corner defaults to showing the desktop switcher or something.
Start button -> System -> System Settings, Mouse and Touchpad -> Screen edges.
Click the upper-left one, and it should show a drop-down that asks you what action you want. Choose "No Action."
Thank you, I dont have those options in mouse settings, Ive taken a screenshot hoping it helps my description.
Oh, that looks like GNOME. Ugh.
oh, can i change it?
That's an entirely different desktop environment (shell), and I'm not sure where the equivalent settings are in that.
I thought I downloaded KDE, is it possible to install KDE ?
Its running on an external drive, I will just redo the image and reinstall it, thank you for your help.
The the desktop moving is probably Overview (super key) or the top-left hot corner, if I remember the defaults. In your screenshot it looks like you're in overview with a single workspace.
Yeah that's definitely GNOME. It's not a bug, it's the workspaces feature
If you want KDE, just reinstall. Make sure to select the correct ISO on the website
