I know this is now beyond the scope of Bazzite, but if anyone can help, I would like to have any OS again at this point 😅

Ventoy is now also just going back to the main menu when selecting bazzite, and freezing on a "_" screen when selecting other OSs

I reset my bios,
got it to complain "you need to load the kernel first",
disabled secure boot like other bazzite help forums suggested,
same issue,
stuck on "booting bazzite" from the external install

So some new findings
Searching my motherboard on google, there's supposedly a hidden "Linux Boot" mode, but is only available after you install an OS apparently (which is what I'm unable to do)
Also plugging in a drive with Bazzite already installed does not unlock this option
A note if others help me look up the motherboard: I have a MSI one, but there's a Gigabyte one of the same name (yay confusion)
Also Ventoy does not seem to help either

I've adjusted every bios setting again and still have the same issue
It may be the end of grub too since it hung on "booting Bazzite" on my external drive that I installed it to
(rather than the start of actually booting)

[Non-Bazzite Issue] Broken Computer
The beta bios that i didn't update to says
"AGESA ComboAm4v2PI 1.2.0.Cc Update"
And "Added security issue of SMM Lock Bypass uCode fix (aka Sinkclose)"
But I'm unsure if either of those would be the issue

It still boots the USB in UEFI mode, but won't detect it if I turn legacy off

So I think it's a bios issue somehow
I have disabled everything related to "Legacy" and it won't detect the USB for either OS (Manjaro or Bazzite)
If I re-enable "legacy USB support" it sees it again, but has the same issue

In the past I've been able to run Manjaro on old BIOS
Even got Fedora/Bazzite to the point of clicking start install before randomly crashing again
I have the feeling it's Fedora related since the same issue happened with a Fedora USB
So I'll give an arch base a try here in a bit
