Prevent Bazzite from auto-mounting Windows' EFI partition on a dual boot system
There is no reason for Bazzite to mount it, and it causes Windows to force check the partition every time during boot up. I have spent a lot of time looking for a way to stop it from mounting in Disks and /etc/fstab, but to no avail.
Please help me exclude it from being auto mounted.

I'm sorry to say we don't do that
I have a dual boot setup and that partition is not mounted
The only way we do auto-mounting at this time is via fstab
or of specifically SD cards via Valve's service
of which, only btrfs formatted ones are mounted by default
you've got something else going on here.
You sure? Both my bazzite systems always automounted all partitions including EFI, NTFS and whatever it seems to find
100%
I even looked into it and remember seeing something that wasn’t fstab do it
But it’s been months, will have to look again tomorrow
Maybe it’s steam/gamescope, which it autoboots into
steam uses a systemd service that we modified
it will only mount btrfs by default
any other format is passed up on
unless you explicitly change the partition type it's allowed to mount to FAT32
Strange
yeah, i double checked today and it was indeed mounted (including all of my other partitions), both in gamescope and desktop mode
maybe i enabled some feature for that to happen at some point, but not that i can remember
