Hey community,
I already have a dual boot with linux mint and Windows 11. I wanted to try fedora and maybe make the switch to it so I tried to install it as a third OS but never got to boot into it.
Fedora was never recocnized by my grub instance from Mint. Interestingly enough in the BIOS there now was the option of a fedora boot manager and when i was booting into that, only Mint(with all Kernels) and Windows was detected. Is there a proper way to do that?
Thanks for your help!
NEI (not enough info)
How did you install fedora? Detailed steps please – including what was done for partitioning.
Generally if all OSes are installed uefi and all use the same efi partition it seems to be relatively easy. The caveat there is that whichever linux distro using grub was last updated takes over the boot process. Since mint is debian/ubuntu related it tends to ignore/block fedora while fedora tries to be more friendly and may recognize and make the other OSes available in grub without special management.
In general, except for the esp partition which may be shared, each OS must have all its other drive space separate from the others.
Often it becomes necessary to manually create a menu entry for grub to boot the other linux distro (which then may need updated when a kernel is updated in the other linux distro)
It is very easy in most linux distros (and even in windows) to use a virtual machine manager and install new OSes into a VM so you could have multiple machines running different OSes active at the same time and avoid dual or multi-booting. Fedora has libvirt (qemu) and vmm native. All should be able to use VirtualBox or even other virtual mangers to run a VM. I am not familiar with what VM tools may be native to Mint.
All are installed as uefi, but fedora created a seperate efi partition. During the installation process, fedora detected my other OSes and created the partions it needed by itself. What was weird was, that the fedora grub itself didn’t sdetect fedora.
It should not have done so unless you manually created your partitions or installed onto a different drive and did not allow fedora to use the same drive where the other efi partition was already installed.
The fedora installer in automatic mode is smart enough to use an already existing efi partition as long as it is able to see it and write to that device.
I’ll have to look into that. I let fedora to create the partitions by itself, but maybe I did something wrong. But they were both on the same nvme.
Please post the output of lsblk -f

thats the ouput, no idea if that helps
In mint it warns me after installing fedora, that the efi partion is low an storrage. Could it be, that the partion is to small?
Also the os-prober in the fedora live iso detects all three OSes
I edited your post to add the preformatted text tags and recover the on-screen formatting which maintains readability. Please use the button </> on the toolbar when pasting text in to do that so things are more easily understood.
In response to your question about space. Yes, absolutely the efi partition seems too small. Only 22M remaining. It may or may not be critical, which can be seen with the df command, but definitely is very limited.
My system shows

It looks like you have Mint using p1 & p2, Windows using p1, p3, & p4, and Fedora using p1, p5, & p6.
Please also post the output of sudo fdisk -l and df. The command and all headers included with the text also make things more readable.
Here the outputs of the two commands and thanks for the tipps.

I can see no problem with the way everything is installed and it seems more like a Mint problem.
Mint is definitely using a lot of space in /boot/efi. Nothing should be using that much in that location that I am aware of. Microsoft does not and neither does fedora.
Please show sudo find /boot also sudo du -h /boot
I resolved that, there were some weird recovory folders created every time I tried to install fedora. Now it only uses 52 MB in total. The main problem seems to be, that the os-prober in Mint just doesn’t detect anythin other then Windows.
That is a known issue, which is why fedora should be the last and only one to run grub. Grub2 in Fedora will see mint when installed, but mint does not see fedora. It is, however, quite possible to create a custom grub menu entry in mint for use in booting fedora.
Alright, thanks. Then I’ll try that and hope to be able to boot into fedora.
Did you ever hear about the fedora grub not containing fedora itself?
I think it would probably be due to the efi partition being so full and possibly the boot loader not completing properly.
The commands I asked for would help me answer your question.
Especially if you were to mount /dev/nvme0n1p5 on /mnt then run that find command on /mnt – such as sudo find /mnt and sudo find /boot/efi
# sudo find /boot

Here you go, don’t know how much that acually helps
It would appear that Mint may be using systemd to boot with the way that is structured.
I still need to see the content of /dev/nvme0n1p5 (mount it on /mnt as suggested) and also the content of cat /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
# sudo cat /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=dev 6c046761-8c08-48b4-9bac-7dce6323057b
set prefix=($dev)/grub2
export $prefix
configfile $prefix/grub.cfg
# sudo find /mnt (content of /dev/nvme0n1p5)
/mnt

Correction to my last about mint and systemd.
This seems to show that fedora was somehow installed twice at least with systemd and not grub. The only way for the fedora kernel to show this way is using systemd. There are 4 rescue kernel conf files with differing machine IDs and 2 show the fedora kernel 6.2.9 conf files.
The default install for fedora workstation uses grub to boot. A user has to select to use systemd and to install extra packages as well as perform special config tasks to switch from grub boot to systemd boot.
At this point I would suggest that you do a full clean recovery reinstallation of fedora. Even your posted data about the content of /mnt is missing a vital directory. There should be a directory tree /mnt/loader/entries/ containing some .conf files for the installation of fedora.
I would first (since you are already booted into mint) remove the directory /boot/efi/EFI/fedora and all its content.
I would also use gdisk or gparted and remove the partitions /dev/nvme0n1p5 and /dev/nvme0n1p6 – leaving that space unallocated.
Then I would do a full new installation of fedora while telling it to do automatic partitioning, and allow it do do everything and not interrupt, waiting for the ‘finish’ button to appear. After clicking finish you can remove the installation media and reboot, which should now boot to fedora (or at least show fedora on the grub menu). After being able to properly boot fedora you should do a full update to the latest software before doing anything else.
There are issues with switching to a systemd boot – notably all systems installed must be able to be booted by systemd – and that might be problematic with windows especially. Grub can easily boot windows. I am not so sure about systemd doing so since I have never tried it.
Does is make sense to remove the systemd directory in the boot/efi/EFI directory? No idea, what that’s used for
Those are in the /boot/efi/loader of my Mint
