Switching from Legacy Boot to UEFI on Bazzite Without Reinstalling
I installed Bazzite in Legacy Boot mode because I didn’t disable CSM in the BIOS during installation. Now, I want to switch to UEFI, but simply changing the BIOS settings causes the system to go straight to the BIOS instead of booting into Bazzite.
I only use Bazzite (no dual boot with Windows).
I found guides on using Boot Repair via an Ubuntu live USB, but I’m unsure if I can do something similar with a Bazzite USB, considering its container-based system.
A full reinstall is my last resort, as I’ve already done a lot of configuration. If reinstalling is the best option, I’d appreciate suggestions on how to back up my system efficiently to minimize setup time afterward.
For context, I initially installed the nvidia-plasma-open image but later switched to nvidia-gnome-open with rebase due to Plasma related issues.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Solution
Actually no. If legacy boot is using MBR instead of a GTP partition table.... then that's not going to work. Go with the backup and restore way
