I have literally installed 3 or 4 versions of Linux in on 3 computers more than 30 times and it always freezes during installation or just comes up with errors after first reboot. The oldest of my 'stationary' computers is the only one that works.
These machines were all running perfectly when Ubuntu 10.04 reached end of life. This is all very strange that nothing else will run on them. Well, not reliably anyway.
After 10 years, I am not going back to Winblows. My kids have a Windoze machine for steam games but I refuse to deal with that disaster.
I have had difficulties with Linux Mint too. I would like to find a work around for this UEFI if there is one besides getting an old computer.
