As a fun fact, my Dell laptop seems to have some code somewhere (likely in
the BIOS itself) that when there are no boot options setup when I try to
boot form the main disk it will run an auto detect mode that likely looks
into the ESP and finds the boot options from there.

I had to clear all boot options for testing a few times (as well as due to
changing SSDs) and I noticed that it not only is able to find the boot
options for a Windows + Linux dual boot as well as Fedora only.

Though also, yes, a "Windows Boot Manager" option might be chosen as the
default sometimes, likely as most users are expected to be using Windows.
