now, the efi stuff is installed, i accept a few "oh, theres efi, i do

could boot with those symlinks before that grub-install destroyed it.
The symlinks are in /etc, they aren't used for booting. The pointer to
the grub.cfg is baked in the grubx64.efi itself. The Fedora built on
looking on the ESP and the one created by grub-install looks in
/boot/grub.
And still,we do not know why the f33 livedisc does not boot at all when
inserted early
AND
why grub-install /dev/USBDRIVE (correct devicename ofcourse ) is
overwriting the ssd boot setup, instead of the usbdrive bootconfig.
It's either face planting on the partition scheme, shim.efi, or
grubx64.efi. The shim.efi hasn't changed since 2018, libisoburn hasn't
changed in 12 months, so yeah that leaves grub.
