Im a total child in terms oft Linux distros. Since im sick of Microsoft i decided to switch my gaming completely to Linux (Xbox to Tower with bazzite, switch to steamdeck). Im quite happy that i installed the distro by my self and found the place where i was able to change the keyboard layout. Because i want to play in my livingroom form the couch i got a bluetooth keyboard. The mouse i already have connected perfectly the keyboard didnt. I tried finding a solution online but soon realised that i have to learn to read the Linux lingo.

Can please someone teach me or point me in the right direction were i can learn the basics. Treat me like i know nothing about distros (because i dont) and PC (because i barely do).

This is also to try the Linux community. Show me what you got.

Edit: First of all, im very happy how this turned out. You people are very kind. I did manage to connect everything and got it running. Now i need to find out why dota 2 isnt running smothly.

in linux you have options provided you don’t jump feet first into an immutable distro intended mostly for gaming.

I'm curious what options you think OP is missing in Bazzite for resolving this issue.

the most immediate one i'd say is how to connect the keyboard... there could be others too. don't know. i tried to look for bluetooth on their documentation but they have no mention of the word.

It's in the system tray. The same spot you'd look first in any OS.

don't tell me, tell OP! I was just trying to read in their documentation how you connect a bluetooth keyboard. i did find a lot of posts from people having many problems with keyboards and controllers. it could be that either the kb model is not compatible or there is some issue with the bluetooth controller in this beginner friendly distro, that is not a distro in the traditional sense! (their words, not mine)
