trying to go into bazzite flash drive
I'm trying to install bazzite to a drive but when spooling up I get this message. I used fedora media writer and it was successful in the check.
It's the bazzite desktop kde Nvidia edition.

Here's what happens if I choose try bazzite instead of just install.
* Things like secure boot and fast boot might be messing with your installed. Are they off?
* You might want to check the sha256 hash of the ISO you downloaded with the one on the Bazzite website. The checksum hash is next to the download button. I usually use 7zip to compare the downloaded ISO to check that the ISO wasn't corrupted during download
* If the ISO is ok you could try another ISO to usb tool like Ventoy
* Lastly, there might be an issue with the USB itself, you could try another one
So I found that I did have some usb's that were corrupted so I put it on a nvme enclosure that I had just installed Garuda through earlier that night. Garuda straight up said secure boot was preventing it from launching so I turned that off but then tried bazzite after again and it gave me the same issue. I gotta find where fast boot is when I get home and try that.
I've redownloaded that same image a couple of times and tried Rufus, balena and fedora media writer and different USB's and it won't go. I think it might be bad on bazzites end.
skip the media check and choose install in the bootloader instead of check media and install
