Wanting to switch DE with reinstalling but I can't backup my files to a flash drive

So do I delete the line with /dev/sdb1?

Yup.
You will still be able to mount the drive … it just wont be mounted automatically at login and the system wont expect it to always be there.

Searching lutris gives me a gaming platform.

Maybe they meant ventoy?

That will allow me to put files on the drive and still use it to install Manjaro GNOME?

seems so. I have never used it.

Good catch

Yes, ventoy will format your USB with two partitions, one is EFI for booting, the other is called ‘ventoy’ for ISOs and any random files. Booting from it will list all the ISOs in a GRUB menu, all your other files are available for copying. Just make sure your BIOS is configured to boot from UEFI first and legacy second.
