The best way to boot Luks encrypted Linux from second SSD (earlier than optical drive) on MacBookPro 13 mid-2012

On MacBookPro, Mid-2012 13″, A1278 particulars https://everymac.com/methods/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core-i5-2.5-13-mid-2012-unibody-usb3-specs.html

Foremost SSD(upgraded from HDD few years earlier than) is OSX 10.15.7.

I’ve changed Optical drive with 2TB SSD (https://www.ifixit.com/Information/Putting in+MacBook+Professional+13-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2012+Twin+Arduous+Drive/13787).

I’ve put in TUXEDO-OS-3-202410081541.iso(https://os.tuxedocomputers.com/TUXEDO-OS-3-202410081541.iso) as Luks encrypted on 2 TB SSD.

My concept was that I’ll simply use alt/possibility key on boot and I may selected: important ssd(OSX 10.15.7) or 2 TB SSD (Luks encrypted Linux)
However this isn’t working.
Once I do alt/possibility key on boot I can selected: “MAIN” or “EFI Boot” and each find yourself in important SSD, OSX 10.15.7. This “EFI Boot” icon is of HDD, when I’ve put in Linux “EFI Boot” was icon of USB disk, so I’m assuming that MacBookPro is recognizing that second 2 TB SDD is bootable, perhaps drawback is with Luks.

Whether it is potential, how can I obtain twin booting from each drives SSD drives, the place second is Luks encrypted Linux ?

If solely drawback is Luks encrypted Linux I can reside with simply Linux, however I’ve not examined this in observe.
