From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Tried all the ones that my BIOS picks up but no dice :/
Can't you select the path?
Maybe your BIOS is at the wrong EFI partition
Make sure your UEFI is retrieving the correct path where you're installing your grub

Look at my issue in the past and see if it create an insight to you. Note that some of the commands may be different because I run Arch, so adapt it to your distro
Afraid I got nothin' from that. It's pretty much beyond my abilities.
Im gonna try installing mint again and letting that fix my grub. if it doesnt, im gonna wipe and redo my install.
Thanks for trying :)
EDIT: Yep just stuck mint on the smallest partition the installer would let me and it "fixed" itself lol. Ah well. Until I inevitably distro hop :')
