Hey folks, I'm new to Linux and I'm having some real trouble. I recently installed Linux Mint on my computer after trying dual booting at first. I backed up all my files from Windows and went full installation. However, after restarting, I got a boot failure message and when I checked manually, it only listed two operating systems: Ubuntu and Windows, instead of three like before. When I select Ubuntu, I end up at the GRUB menu. I waited for an hour to try to access the driver settings, but everything seemed fine. I tried some tips I found on Reddit to fix it, but nothing worked. Now I'm dealing with a laggy Linux Mint, even though I can still access Windows. I pulled out the USB as some suggested, but the problem persists. I'm stuck with this boot detection issue and possible driver problems. I'd really appreciate any advice to help resolve this!

Have you tried disabling the secure boot option in your BIOS? Sometimes, that might solve your boot issues. Another thing you could do is clean up the boot order in BIOS—remove the old entries of installations that aren't there anymore. This might help your system locate the proper boot option!
I tried that already but didn't see any difference. Right now, I'm just resetting my laptop to see if that clears up any issues with my Wi-Fi driver. Thanks for the suggestion!
