Fedora UEFI GRUB Restore Guide (for BTRFS/LUKS after Windows Install)

Purpose

This script automates the process of restoring the Fedora GRUB bootloader on a UEFI system after it has been removed or overwritten, typically by a Windows installation.

It is designed for a common Fedora setup: a LUKS-encrypted BTRFS root partition and a separate /boot partition. The script performs the following actions:

  1. Prompts for the LUKS encryption password to unlock the Fedora system partition.
  2. Correctly mounts the BTRFS root subvolume, the /boot partition, and the EFI System Partition (ESP).
  3. Binds the necessary system directories from the live environment.
  4. Executes a chroot command to run commands inside the installed Fedora system.
