I don't really know what to do, I am very new to Linux, i tried everything but my issue is not common as I know.

i even used gemini to help me, i disabled my mve apparently they said it would fix it but no, secure boot disabled obviously, fast boot too, and uhh idk. maybe you need system specs i don't know

The disk layout looks normal; efibootmgr only shows two boot slots, but the Windows entry is very large, so the problem is maybe the NVRAM limits?
