Installation fails in "ostree container image deploy"
I have the exact same issue as in https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/issues/1016 - with every attempt to install failing. I previously had Nobara installed, but I used efibootmgr to completely wipe away any entries (as well as cleaning up all partitions).
I had the same issue on a laptop as well, which suddenly started working after several attempts, so I'm not sure what else to try. Is there anywhere beyond the efibootmgr entries that stuff could somehow survive between installations to cause issues at this point?

I would double check if the /efi/boot/fedora folder is there or not, even if you remove the entries from the bios, if the physical files are still in the efi for some reason you'll still get the error. Let me see if I can reproduce in a VM. Granted the error is "Code 1" and the only known issue is duplicate /efi files, there might be other things that cause that error code.

👍, let me go reboot and find out, I could totally believe that folder is left behind, I only deleted entries
folder was there, just removed and trying again
I do wish the installer helped with this - it feels painful for people who just want to swap from another distro to try it out, I had to do all sorts of console/rescue stuff just to get a bootable env
it seems to be chugging along this time so I'm pretty confident it was just that folder
Good news! fingers crossed.
