UEFI is a bit complicated and it's well known the EDD3 specifications can cause issues to efibootmgr, for example on Dell https://github.com/rhboot/efibootmgr/issues/86

I just think it'd be nicer to have a multiplatform way to tweak UEFI boot variable, so you can fiddle with your UEFI variables from either Linux or Windows without having to actually go into the UEFI shell or use a PE32 like RU.EFI : https://ruexe.blogspot.com/
