Bazzite not booting after installing Windows on separate drive?

I work in IT so this is extra embarrassing....

To start, my Lenovo laptop has two nvme's: a 2TB Fedora spin for work/school, and 256gb drive with bazzite.

I installed windows 11 on the 2tb drive because I need to do some training and don't want to futz with VMs or trying to fool Pearson into thinking I'm not on a VM (feel so dirty...)

Might be completely coincidental, but after installing Windows the Bazzite drive will not boot at all. I interrupt boot to select a boot device -> pick my 256GB drive -> it goes straight to the white spinning circle of Windows boot. Not even any text shows up on screen to make it seem like a Linux thing is happening.

Anybody encounter something similar? I'm about to make a rescue USB to see if that can help recover this thang
