How do I restore from a copy after a fresh reinstall?
So, I was trying to add more space to keep pinned images in kde partition manager and managed to bork the main btrfs partition. I didn't realize it until I tried to boot my computer the next morning and it failed after grub. All of the images failed in the same way. I have backups of my most important files, but it's far from everything. I did some reading about btrfs data recovery online, and while I haven't been able to unbork that partition I was able to use btrfs restore to copy all of the files out of it and into an ext4 partition.
So, I'm getting ready to reinstall bazzite and am left with a near perfect copy of my previous system, but on ext4 on an external harddrive. (It will be missing btrfs metadata. It should still have the symlinks and extended attributes though.) What's the best way to restore from this?

Trouble setting up undervolting for t480 from inside distrobox
I'm trying to undervolt my thinkpad t480 laptop using this program reccomended by reddit: https://github.com/erpalma/throttled
It has instructions for installing on Silverblue, but relies on layering so I want to try installing it by way of distrobox first. The arch instructions were listed first, they seemed simple, and arch sounds like a useful container to keep around anyway, so I started there. After some fumbling, I figured out I needed to enable systemd stuff, so I deleted the container and recreated it making sure to flip the switch for "use innit system" in BoxBuddy this time. After that it seems to have installed correctly, but when I run "systemctl is-enabled throttled" in the main terminal I get "not-found." When I run "systemctl is-active throttled" in the Arch distrobox terminal I get "failed." What am I doing wrong here?
I've only been on linux for a little over a month and I'm a total noob when it comes to containers, but I aspire to be a dev. I appreciate technical answers and want to learn best practices.
