I know this is a Linux magazine but I can't really find a lot of resources on this.
I installed fedora kinite on a second hard drive, intending to dual boot with windows, after the install finished it looks like it removed my windows boot loader.
Has anyone run into this and if so how did you correct it?
If it is a second hard drive... Probably the win bootloader is on the first still? Check bios boot options
Maybe its destiny telling you you can do it without windows
Lol, I would love to ditch Windows completely but VR gaming still kinda needs it for now.
The BIOS boot options show only Fedora no Windows, grub only shows fedora as well.
I've actually had a good experience with ALVR lately, specifically the nightly version. WiVRn (Monado) has gotten pretty good too. You might consider testing vr on linux out again if you haven't recently.

I had the exact same problem with regular Fedora KDE. In my case it turned out that it didn't wipe out the entire Microsoft bootloader because there was a backup
bootx64.efi
. In the end I downloaded a windows installer iso, copied the boot* files and directory to efi/Microsoft/boot and copied that bootx64.efi and added it to the grub menu using the 40_custom file in grub.d and applied grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfgTo boot from grub you use
set root
andchainloader /...
which you then write as a menuentrySorry for the bad reply but I'm working
I hadn't read the other drive stuff. I'm guessing it's the same case as mine since you planned or guessed you would be using Grub on your primary drive instead of Windows boot manager. I don't have my computer with me but I would be willing to make a more concrete "tutorial". You can DM me too
