I went to bios and there were no functionality that uefi has. And my hdd uses mbr partition style. I don’t know that much about bios tbh

If you saw no mention of EFI or secure boot in the firmware setup and the device is older than 11 years, you’ve BIOS.
Otherwise you’ve UEFI

What if you try to boot from the one time menu? Are you sure your drive is actually set to boot first?
C0rn3j 2022-07-21 21:00:58
mrsnailo 2022-07-21 20:34:50

Also do this again but show lsblk before rebooting

Reinstall it and generate config yes

mrsnailo 2022-07-21 21:05:04
On ext4 installation there was no issue. But with btrfs this happens. I really want to setup with btrfs. (. For snapping ). Guess i am doing something wrong .
