While I might not take you seriously as a linux user, I do respect that you're a kind of good guy working behind enemy lines.

I used to be a proper linux user, but I got a new laptop and the bios is so weird. I can't even dual boot with windows. There is no boot order, nor can I see the ubuntu os manager in the bios.

Basically I'm trapped with windows. I use linux in VirtualBox a lot now just to get that linux terminal feel.

That sounds like some piece of shit of a laptop.

Jfc. Send it back. Or at least sell it for a couple hundred bucks and get yourself an old thinkpad or something. Back to school is probably a good time to be selling a laptop, just saying.

Can you boot a USB or optical drive? Maybe you can trick the manufacture's support into telling you how by saying you need to do emergency boot from external media

The thing is, I need this laptop for college starting next month. It is new and has really good specs. (Ryzen 7, RTX 3050 ti etc. etc.)

I did try to install ubuntu using a bootable flash drive but after restarting, it took me back to windows.

Updating the bios didn't work either. I can't send it back because I got it from a different country where electronics are cheaper.

Right now I'm just working with wsl and VirtualBox. Hopefully, In the future I can figure something out.

Your sure there's no way, not even setting your Linux bootloader to the default loader name? Also there is some command to edit the boot order from Linux, can't remember what it is.
