Bazzite No Longer a Boot Option (for Dual Boot Windows/Bazzite on ROG Ally X)
Hi, I set up dual boot Windows and Bazzite on my new Ally X a few weeks ago using a partitioned SSD. It was working great until last night I booted into Windows to play some games on that side. Maybe Windows applied some automatic updates that messed up how Bazzite boots, because now I can only boot into Windows. Fedora/Bazzite is no longer an option in the BIOS boot menu.
Looking at Disk Management in Windows, the partition and files for Bazzite still look to be there and without issues.
I installed EasyUEFI to take a look, and the Fedora entry has a status of "Hidden" while Windows Boot Manager is "Normal." I don't know how to make Fedora unhidden. I tried making a new boot entry using this program, but the file paths I'm able to specify (like EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi) is different from what Fedora has (EFI\fedora\shimx64.efi). I can't seem to find a "fedora" folder in EFI when I try to make a new boot entry. Did it get deleted by a Windows update?
If I make a new boot entry I can see it on the BIOS and choose it, but when I do, it goes to a blue reset screen, but still only boots into Windows. I disabled SecureBoot, but that didn't change anything.
I'm a newbie at this stuff, so would appreciate anyone's help in being able to boot back into the Bazzite side. I was hoping to avoid a full reset and reinstall, but not sure if that's my only option now. Thanks in advance.
