Issues installing bazzite
Hello I have just decided to stop using windows and decided to install bazzite. My friend has been helping me try to install it but each time it fails with a fatal error. I downloaded the iso from the website twice and I put it on a formatted USB with rufus using DD image mode. I then went into the installer from my BIOS and created a partition on my main NVME (60 gigs about) to bazzite using / as the mount point and then used a separate partition of the drive to have its mount point be /boot/efi the error upon trying to finish the installation was "ostree container image deploy--sysroot=/mnt/sysimage--image=/run/install/repo/bazzite-stable--transport=oci--no-signature-verification" exit with code 1. I have a 3090 rtx and an amd cpu. Thank you for the help!

@kyzero I had the same problem with rufus yesterday. Try to use the Fedora Media Writer worked for me.
hope that will fix your problem.
Thank ya I'll give it a shot tonight!
Unfortunately I got the same error regardless
i would recommend to try automatic partitioning
@kyzero what are your settings at the download Page?
Your error message says you have "bazzite-stable" but you said you have an rtx 3090 so your version has to be "bazzite-nvidia-open-stable".
If you have no data to keep use automatic partition.
If you try to make a Dualboot and your efi partition is on a different disk try to put a partition that is like "1Gb ext4 /boot" on the same disk you have the partition for "/"
The Filesystem for "/" has to be btrfs
Use only 1 monitor during the installation to avoid getting stuck on grey screens (the installation will not work in safe mode)
Make sure to deactivate secure Boot (on some Mainboards like Asus you have to set it to "other OS")
