Bazzite installation fail rog ally x
Hi, I'm trying to install bazzite to a 1tb ssd single boot but when I try to install, it fails and says the following:
the following error occurred while installing the bootloader. the system will not be bootable failed to install bootloader bazzite
I have turned off fast boot and secure boot. Also when I'm in the drive selection screen I delete then reclaim all.
Please could someone help as I've been failing for days now and currently don't have an os on my ally x

I don't recall that specific error message, but I had issues with reclaiming the drive space with the Bazzite installer on my Ally X as well.
I solved it by making a bootable USB for another distro that has GParted available (any distro that can live boot should do, though some may have issues with GUI in my experience), booting into it, and completely deleting all partitions in the drive with GParted (via GUI if it works, or just command line), leaving the entire drive unallocated.
Once the disk was fully unallocated, the Bazzite installation worked fine.
