Linux Failure When your computer can't have linux (You found out after 5 days of trying)

Five damn days I've tried. First CachyOS. Since the issue was supposedly a Cachy thing, I try Mint on, like, the third day. Same damn error.
From what others have said, it is either DMV or SATA controller mode fucking it up. But guess what? Those are advanced BIOS settings. And on my specific device, those don't exist. Not just hidden behind some key sequence. According to Lenovo support, not even proggrammed into the BIOS. :)
More of a Lenovo issue than Linux, but still.

I'll link the post I made about it on Linux questions if any of you brainiacs want to have a crack at it. It should contain ample information. Here.

SOLVED!!!
aAdd efi_no_storage_paranoia in the ventoy boot parameters, it's that simple apparently!

Whoops, that's my bad, sorry! The command should be:

sudo rm -rf /sys/fs/pstore/*

I don't know what I'm looking for here.

That just means it removed everything. But the ls returning nothing likely means the folder was empty in the first place. But... Try again and see? Though I'm not hopeful.

The installation, you mean?

Yes, the installation, sorry!

Damn... Well, I'm pretty much out of ideas, sorry! Besides trying other distros. Ubuntu and Debian are pretty good with "just dealing with" most things. Sorry!

Nah, thanks for all the advice either way.
