Okay. I’ve pinpointed the problem. @anon75264233 's link gave me a lot of info about what’s going on. Apparently the uefi is hardcoded to only recognize "Windows Boot Manager " as a valid bootloader. I managed to use efibootmgr to delete the created Ubuntu entry from the install, create a new Ubuntu entry under the name of “Windows Boot Manager” with a path to “\EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.exe” (shimx64.exe is basically a version of grub that’s compatible with secure boot because its signed by m$). Now I had two boot entries labeled “Windows Boot Manager”. One going to windows boot file, and one to shimx64.exe. I went in to the bios and changed the boot order to boot the shimx64 one first. I booted up and same thing. No grub, just boots straight to windows. Now I’m thinking I should try again but completely delete the original windows uefi boot entry leaving the fake one that goes to Ubuntu? I’m getting a little lost here but I’m still trying. Thanks guys for helping so much.
Edit: I just tried installing fedora instead of Ubuntu gnome and it works perfectly out of the box. The only downside is I have to spam f12 every time it boots up to bring up the boot menu where it gives the option to boot “command linpus lite” to get to fedora. I tried going in to the bios and changing the boot order, but the boot loader isn’t there.
Oh well. At least it boots now
