No, that is usually harmless.

Bad news... Even with the new USB I am still running into the same boot issues.

BIOS troubleshooting?

In that case, you should change your BIOS settings from SATA to RAID.

I agree to try this given:

Unfortunately in my BIOS I am unable to find any settings regarding setting the SSD to SATA or RAID. It is the bios from lenovo so the options it provides aren't all that extensive

Is this it?

yes that is the one!

You are right about the poor BIOS option.
I did not see anything regarding RAID/SATA.

IT WORKS!

I have no clue what did it but after looping a few times it worked! I reset everything in the bios and disabled secureboot etc. and now it is starting properly!

I have a suspicion that etcher definitely had something to do with it not working because it showed the zorin logo once I used the fresh USB. Remind me to never use that again lol

Thank you guys for taking the time to help me out!
