You didn't "just install Linux", because "Linux" doesn't exist. What you did, what install a distribution of Linux, and some play nicer than others with UEFI BIOS.

Now, having said that, which Distro did you install?

And if you don't press the key sequence you described, what happens instead?

Oh boy, so a LINUX distribution is somehow not LINUX? The guy came here looking for help, not a freaking lecture over what is and isn't Linux. This is half the reason why people avoid Linux, because of the enthusiasts, talking with adenoids and saying "Well Ackshually......"

I didn't say a Linux distro didn't exist,I pointed out he didn't tell us *which* distro he installed, and just said he installed "linux" which isn't helpful, but they are not all the same. It's a critical piece of information that is missing, and could prevent us from helping him.

 

If he installed Ubuntu 9.04, for example, on a UEFI system, then there is the issue, 9.04 doesn't support that style of BIOS, but we'd never know it, because he didn't tell us.

Details matter when dealing with *nix

What master disaster meant is you could just have asked, its the latest version of linux mint with the cinnamon desktop.

I need linux mint to install efi inside /boot/efi/EFI/boot, because hp is so stupid so the boot file aka bootx64.efi file needs to be there.
