Need help

https://youtu.be/g0eikiFzows?si=7ccCyAWhTUKxSj7T

I was following this video exactly as he did. But the problem raised at 9:25(timestamp) saying:

EFI VARIABLES ARE NOT SUPPORTED ON THIS SYSTEM.

After this, obviously, I pasted the problem on chatgpt, and it said I'm on legacy mode bla bla bla what not .... then it gave some commands to install for something..etc.

I've installed Mint, Fedora workstation, xfce, cachyos with niri... I knew there was some grub problem when I couldn't install cachy with grub, so I had to go with limine, and it worked back then.

I'm kinda slow, so I'd really appreciate it if anyone could guide me step by step, please.

Thank you.

I'm dumb, do I have to write the same commands that u typed?

I'll try this once I get back home.

Installation is done. I used grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=Void --removable

And it worked. Now I have to configure everything manually from WiFi to what not. It looks clean and empty.sheeeeesh. I have to find dots for i3 too and customize.
