I've decided to switch to Linux for gaming but ran into an issue. I thought setting up a dual boot with Windows 11 would be easy, so I created a 50GB partition and installed CachyOS. It installed fine, and everything looked great! But when I switched back to Windows to continue gaming, I prioritized Windows Boot Manager, and now I'm getting this error: 0x7b INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. I'm totally stuck here! I've been researching for hours, my cat has left me, and I'm out of pizza. It's frustrating, and I feel like I've slipped on a banana peel. Any advice on how to fix this?

You might want to use Ventoy to create a Windows Installer USB, but it's best to do that using a real Windows system with the official Media Creation Tool. First, back up your important files from the Windows installation using your Linux system. After that, you can try the Windows installer or repair options to fix your Windows setup. Just a heads up, that 50GB partition for CachyOS is going to fill up fast!
Are you using GRUB as your bootloader? Make sure it's set up correctly. Also, check if secure boot is disabled; it might be causing issues if it's not configured right.
Yeah, I've got GRUB, but it doesn’t show up; it boots straight into Cachy. And secure boot is off.
I heard that Steam can run games from the Windows folder on CachyOS with some tweaks. That's what I was planning to try!
