Fedora Atomic Desktop (hence Bazzite) cannot be installed on the same drive alongside another OS. You must install it on a separate drive.
Since Bazzite is based on Fedora, why not switch to Bazzite altogether?
Oh, I did not know that it has to be installed to a separate disk. Then I cannot use it.

You can absolutely install Bazzite alongside another OS on the same drive, as I did. It's not recommended, but it works fine. Just mount your shared /home partition on /var/home and make sure it won't format it before hitting install.
I am not familiar with btrfs and subvolumes. Can I just go with old school ext4? This is a normal HDD and not SSD.
It suggests a separate EFI partition. I am a bit confused here because is it only w.r.t. Windows install or separate from even Fedora EFI? Hopefully I can share the same EFI partition with Fedora.
I am confused about the need for /var partition. I will read more and then follow up.
Yeah ext4 works fine. It's just a mounting point. You're not recreating the home partition, just using it.
About the EFI partition, I'm pretty sure you just need GRUB on it, and it should detect everything just fine. But I never triple booted so there's that.
About /var, it's because it's fully writable. Dunno why they didn't just make /home writable too.
This.
