Hey there, I'm a beginner with Linux and just installed Linux Mint on my computer. Initially, I tried dual booting with Windows, but after backing everything up, I decided to go for a full installation. However, after the installation, my computer failed to detect the boot and I only have Ubuntu and Windows options now. When I try booting, it sometimes leads me to GRUB, but my system is really lagging, especially at the lock screen. I've checked my drivers, which seem fine, and I pulled out the USB as some suggested, but nothing has worked so far. I still have access to Windows, but I'm stuck with this laggy Linux Mint issue and would love some help!

You might want to disable the secure boot option in your BIOS settings. Often, if the boot order has leftover entries for old installations, it can cause boot issues. Try deleting those old entries and then reinstalling Linux Mint if necessary.
Dude, it sounds like you might have installed Ubuntu on your boot USB by mistake. Be sure to check your installation media to avoid issues like this.
Check if you have two entries for Ubuntu in your boot menu; one could be for a previous install. Try using the other entry and see what happens. Additionally, Boot-Repair can be really helpful for fixing installation issues. You can install it from Linux Mint or use a Live USB with it.
You could try running a VM setup with VMware to test things out without messing with your main system. It can help you iron out these issues in a controlled environment.
