grub is not being seen by my bios when booting my pc in legacy mode

not my artix install on my nvme drive and not on my linux live usbs

yes i know how to set the boot priority in the bios setup and the boot menu

i'm beyond confused.

is it the gpt partitioning? must i use mbr only. yes i know to use a bios_grub partition.

should this work for artix but putting the settings for artix obviously (not ubuntu)

Method 3: Set Linux boot for EFI from Windows (last resort)
Warning!

Playing with your boot settings can leave your system messed up. I advise having a recovery disk or Windows installation disk with you to reverse boot settings. Keeping the Linux live USB can also help in many situations.

Step 1
In Windows, go to the menu.

Step 2
Search for Command Prompt, right click on it to run it as administrator.

Step 3
This is strictly for Ubuntu. Other distributions might have some other folder name.

In here, copy and paste the command below:

bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi
You don’t need to enter a password or anything like that. The command should run just fine given that your account has admin rights.

Step 4
Restart and you’ll be welcomed by the familiar Grub screen. I hope this quick tutorial helped you fix the Grub issue.
