Additionally, what changes are necessary for you to be able to use Linux full time?

Fucking up my UEFI on my laptop, making it difficult to boot into Linux.

Undoing that.

Bootloaders don't interact with the UEFI, the UEFI interacts with the bootloader.

Sounds like you just used a bad one. systemd-boot is superb, it autodetects all kernals and shows an option to access the UEFI.

Windows however, assumes it owns your boot partition, so likes to delete Linux bootloaders if installed last.

I don't mean my bootloader though. The UEFI menu can't be accessed using the standard method of pressing a key.

I would look for a setting in the UEFI to delay the startup, it might be that it's too quick.

If you need to reboot into the UEFI you can use:

systemctl reboot --firmware-setup
