Dualbooting windows and ubuntu (ubuntu is mostly working) and as in the picture, grub shows up in the boot order list as a bunch of gibberish.
Why is this? Could it hint at something wrong? How can I fix it even if just to make it look nicer?
I did have to restart the installation a bunch. Including once because it failed to create the partition, but the installation completed once that was done.
EDIT: I reinstalled grub and this persists so Im still curious.
I just noticed fhat you have
Secure Boot: [Enabled]you're gonna want to switch that off to Disabled as it'll prevent you from booting most if not all Linux distros(Archlinux install guide note 1.4 for reference)
also that looks like the default Acer/Lenovo BIOS menu but I could be wrong, if it is the case unfortunately unless you can create BIOS firmware I don't think there's an wasy way to customize that menu screen
Why are you using Arch as a reference for ubuntu? Also... I have secure boot on and I run arch and have for the last 5 + years it runs just fine lol
Good call, I used arch as it's the one I'm most experienced with especially when it comes to grub and bios/uefi system configuration although on reflection it seems that I need to study a bit more before trying to provide help
I recommended disabling secure boot as all of the machines I tried to install linux had issues when it was enabled and at the time most if not all sources online recommended disabling it, if secure boot works fine now it just means that I need to study more and revise my data
