It’s a maingear laptop. Installation appears to proceed normally, however on reboot grub will absolutely not allow me to boot into linux. I’ve tried ubuntu, mint, and arch. I suspect it’s actually an issue with the uefi, but as the hardware isn’t mainstream trying to run that down is fruitless.
I’m not familiar with the brand, but general ideas that come to mind to troubleshoot are:
Disable secureboot if enabled. Understanding you’ll lose that security feature of course.
See if there’s an option to mark your storage as removable in the installer (–removable flag in grub iirc). My (pretty old) motherboard does not seem to respect attempts to add uefi entities but it happily boots off a “removable” uefi install.
