Bazzite install just booting to windows

I have just downloaded bazzite, used Rufus to download it onto a usb and now I am trying to run the installer. However whenever I select install this media it just boots into windows. I have safe boot off and it is first in the boot order from bios. I can find nothing online about this issue. Thanks all for the help.

simply install ventoy on your selected media and then you just need to drag and drop any as many iso as you wanted into it

Just read a couple things saying that ventoy wasn’t safe

you said you select "install this media", have you tried "test this media and install"? i have a usb stick where it always fails the verification step even when etcher verified the image as correct. maybe something similar is happening here too. you could also try to install fedora kinoite and then do a rebase to bazzite

that's what happened with my device too. do you have a different usb drive you could try? or maybe just try flashing it again hoping this time it wont corrupt
