Bazzite is a custom Fedora Atomic image, so dnf is expected not to work other than inside containers.
What edition of Fedora are you on now (head -3 /etc/os-release)?
Please also share the output of lsblk -f, cat /etc/fstab/, as well as the dnf command you ran before, and, in case you’re on an atomic variant of Fedora, the output of rpm-ostree status.
EDIT: Please post the outputs as preformatted text, using the </> button on the toolbar above the edit window.

Well it seems that you’re on Bazzite, so not on an official Fedora release, which limits the help that can be provided here. You might also want to discuss Bazzite-specific issues on their Discourse forums.
As a general remark though, are you sure you wanted to use an atomic desktop, which has a rather different approach to package installations (among other things), as opposed to traditional desktops? If you’re a fan of dnf, you might want a traditional version of UBlue Fedora instead.
If you’d want to stick with your current installation, the general approach is to install GUI apps as Flatpaks, layer packages that need to be layered on top of the OSTree deployment, and install other utilities in containers. I suggest to have a look at man rpm-ostree to get familiar with the concept of package layering and RPM-OStree in general, and man toolbox for an easy approach to containers.
