Facing Boot Issues After Installing Fedora and Windows 11 – Need Help!

From my experience, pop!_OS has helped me recover from boot issues before. You might want to give it a try!

If you’re looking for a user-friendly Linux experience, consider MX Linux. It has excellent documentation and is great for beginners. You can even test it in a live session without installing it first. Also, using Ventoy lets you try out multiple distros easily. If you feel stuck, boot into a live USB, wipe your drive with GParted, and start fresh. It will give you a clean environment to work from!

It sounds like you're dealing with multiple issues. Make sure to clarify whether you have one or two drives, and whether your system was set to UEFI from the start. If Windows 11 won’t reinstall, check if you’re using the USB created on a Windows system. In general, Linux should install alongside Windows without too much hassle if you follow the distro instructions. Since you mentioned that Mint isn't booting, try using Super Grub 2 disk to recover your bootable install. That might help you see if there’s an option to boot into your existing systems. Let us know what happens!

Here’s a quick fix you can do right from the Linux Mint live USB. When you boot the Mint live USB in UEFI mode, run these commands in the terminal: `lsblk -f`, `sudo fdisk -l`, and `sudo efibootmgr -v`. This will show your internal HDD and current UEFI boot entries. If it turns out your disk is set to MBR instead of GPT, that’s likely causing your issues. Make sure to backup important data first, then use GParted to wipe the disk and create a new GPT partition. For a fresh Windows or Linux Mint install, create a proper UEFI bootable USB using tools like Rufus. This setup should allow a clean install that appears in your boot menu afterwards!
