So anyway, any beginner tips?
Less a specific linux tip but look into Ventoy, it can carry multiple bootable ISOs and its just useful (reduces the amount of ISO Sticks to 1)

ventoy is awesome, my tip for OP is to always have a live usb in case of emergencies. you can just install ventoy onto a USB and drag and drop your bazzite ISO but having a live stick you can plug in and boot from at any moment is 100% a life saver. whether you broke something or you just wanna troubleshoot (think windows safe mode but better) you'll be glad you kept that USB lying around :)
i would suggest looking into alternatives to Ventoy, as the community has been actively discussing the 'blobs' of precompiled code. What this code does is unknown so you are trusting that there is nothing that could be harmful. I personally wouldn't trust it until the below thread provides more clarity.
I did something similar a few months ago! But honestly it took me forever to pick between GNOME and KDE. Ended up going to KDE for certain things I wanted to customise.
Curious about what you plan to play with them specs.
Runs pretty much everything in stable 60 fps, and I don't see any difference between medium and ultra settings
More specifically: DOTA 2, Pathfinder Kingmaker (took 4 hours to set this one up, and it's the SECOND time), Chrono Ark, 1000x Resist, They Are Billions, Mechwarrior 5 with friends, TTRPGs in browser, and some souls-like once I'm done with one of the listed games
Ah, okay. "Pretty much everything" in 60 fps at medium settings sounds reasonable.
Not trying to hate here btw, I was just curious. 😁
Linux is great but make sure you also have a secondary computer for if and when it randomly doesn't boot or won't update anymore. You can probably get a used laptop pretty cheap.
