Bazzite won't boot after install on Legion Go
Hey everyone. I'm fairly new to Linux and its many variants and I'm eager to learn. I want to use Bazzite on my Legion GO. I don't want to dual boot Windows since I have a separate SSD for that. I've downloaded the Bazzite KDE Legion GO ISO from the website and have created my boot able usb using Rufus.
I installed Bazzite by deleting all partitions and reclaiming space, did not set root user, created my user, set my network, and begin installation.
After installation device said to not turn off while updating with the Legion logo.
It then continue with the boot up process where it ask me about enrolment. I clicked "Continue boot" since I have not set secure boot.
I then get an error about loading the kernel first. Then it shows 3 menu option to boot Bazzite, Fedora, or EFI.
Selecting Bazzite or Fedora loops me back to the same error message about loading the kernel first.
I have reinstalled Bazzite twice now but I'm always stuck here.
Can anyone help?

I am not actually that familiar with Rufus and currently do not have access to a Windows installation, or have hardware capable of running it in a VM. However I can recommend trying to flash the ISO again with Balena Etcher or Fedora Media Writer. Both have Windows ports.

you have secure boot?
you were supposed to enroll MOK
I have reviewed my steps and my bios settings. Secure Boot was enabled. After disabling it and trying the installation again, it finally continued the initial setup process.
you can still use secure boot

Honestly I have no idea about those options.
If I enable secure boot do I have to reinstall again?
no
follow that guide
secure boot option C

Ok will do that. Thank you!
