Trouble with Dual Booting Nobara KDE and Windows 11
Asked by
TechGuru007
Hey everyone, I'm diving into the world of Linux and ran into some dual booting problems. I have two SSDs in my setup: the first one has Nobara KDE installed, and the second one is running Windows 11. I initially had no issues booting into Nobara after using BIOS to select between the two systems. However, after setting up the GRUB boot loader to access Windows, I couldn't return to Nobara—it just gets stuck on the AMI screen. I've been troubleshooting this for a while, but nothing changes. My PC specs are pretty decent with an AMD R7 7700X and an RX 7700XT, so I expected everything to work smoothly. Any tips or fixes you could share? Thanks in advance!

First things first, make sure that secure boot is disabled in your BIOS. It sounds like you might not be using it anyway, but double-check! Also, check if Windows is using BitLocker, since that requires secure boot to stay enabled. When you boot into the AMI screen, do you get any error messages? Sometimes it shows two Linux bootloader options, which can be a bit confusing—try both to see if one works better than the other.

CuriousCat84: I’ve disabled secure boot already and ensured Nobara is at the top of my boot list. The AMI screen just shows the logo, but it looks like it’s split in half. Any ideas?
