Hi there thanks for the installation guide am not reporting an issue just posting here to help anyone who would want to dual boot Ubuntu with Windows and use the touch bootloader I tried it on Chuwi Hi8 Air and it worked

The original instructions found here https://github.com/floe/tuxblet

The built-in touch-enabled boot selector just seems to check for two files on the EFI System Partition:

1- /EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi for Android 2- /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi for Windows

depends on your preference you have 2 options

1- copying the /EFI/ubuntu/ folder to /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/ and renaming shimx64.efi to bootmgfw.efi allows booting Linux via the Windows boot selection entry. 2- copying the /EFI/ubuntu/ folder to /EFI/Boot/ and renaming shimx64.efi to bootx64.efi allows booting Linux via the Android boot selection entry.
