I can't boot into the Bazzite USB.
When I try to boot into the Bazzite USB I get a blue screen that asks if I want to continue booting and then boots into grub so my current install (Noobara) starts.
I've reflashed the drive multiple times.

I've tried other USBs I know work and they won't boot either.
What software are you using for making the USB? Rufus? Ventoy? Fedora Media Writer? Try a different tool and see if that makes a different
Also the blue screen sounds a bit like secure boot is on
The last time I tried I used Fedora Writer
None of the live USBs I have work. They all worked previously
Have you tried redownloading the ISO and/or checking the checksum of the current ISO?
Listen, the Windows USB I know worked isn't booting
It's not a writer fail
hmmm. You didn't accidently enable fast boot by any chance? The bios will skip all external boot media if you do that
I'll check. I don't remember seeing an option for that
and when I installed Noobara it worked just fine
I didn't see an option in the BIOS for fast boot. Is it a Fedora or Grub option?
Also, there is an option for Secure Boot but when I checked it was already disabled.
Fast boot is a BIOS option.
Does it have other names? I don't think it's that because I've only had Noobara on the system 1-2 weeks and I don't mess with the BIOS unless I'm installing an OS to set it to boot from USB
I want to thank you for your help even though we haven't solved the problem. I appreciate the effort.
It might have a different name in your Bios. What are the specs of your system?
Alienware Aurora R11
AMD Radeon 5700 XT. Intel 10k
16 gb ram
This person has the Aurora R9, you might be able to fix your issue in the same way https://www.reddit.com/r/Alienware/comments/dy8nz1/does_anyone_know_why_i_am_unable_to_boot_from_usb/
I'll try it thanks.
I don't know what I need to add.
I know which option is the USB stick but I don't know what I need to choose.
Also, I didn't have to do that to get Noobara to install
I just selected the option for USB
