Spent the entire afternoon trying to install #Linux Mint as a dual-boot, but because this was an Acer PC with Windows 10 pre-installed, the BIOS outright refuses to acknowledge the existence of anything other than Windows 10 and I can't find any way of booting into Mint instead :oh_no:

Disable secure boot. Maybe google how to do so for your computer.

@fireborn I disabled Secure Boot before I installed Linux Mint and it's still disabled now. The problem is that normally the BIOS would let you change the boot order, but there's no option for Linux Mint/Ubuntu for me to prioritise first. It's Windows Boot Media or nothing

@fireborn I think some of my BIOS settings are being reset every time I switch my PC on
