Note that Big Sur has a new pre-boot mechanism, so what worked for dual boot on older systems may need revisions for your use case. I have used rEFInd many times, but don't have recent hardware. Note that Arch Linux often has the best linux documentation. You may find <https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface> useful. -- George N. White III
