Triple boot on Deck (SteamOS,Windows,Bazzite)
Alright... so I overclocked my deck awhile back. The overclock works great in Windows, but I've always had problems in SteamOS. I just for the life of me can't get the limits to be lifted permanently in the OS to take advanage of the overclock. It works for a bit, then something in the OS overrides it, and it is no longer puling over 15w and becomes unstable and sometimes crashes...
I have tried to install Bazzite because, to my knowledge, it should work no problem with the overclock. I started with Bazzite and Windows, because I figured I wouldn't need Steam OS anymore. Well, Steam Deck BIOS Manager doesn't work in Bazzite, and I need that to install SREP to change the TDP for the Deck. Not to mention Refind and Clover boot managers dont work with Bazzite. Not necessary, but really nice to have.
So Then I tried a triple boot so I could use Steam Deck BIOS Manager and Refind. I can get Steam OS and Windows running side by side no problem. I get Bazzite installed and when I try to load it up, I get an error saying I am in Emergency mode and it wont let me progress. I tried many times to reinstall the triple boot wiping the drive each time. Each time I did it, I got the same result.
Is it possible to Triple Boot SteamOS, Windows, and Bazzite on Deck?

SteamOS and Bazzite generally can’t dual boot together
