Can Install Linux based OS's in my new Lenovo 110s ideapad.

[BadBoyKauser]

Hello I recently got interested in Linux and decided to buy a nice little laptop so I could pentest and learn. My plan was to go to my nearest BestBuy and buy the cheapest laptop I could find, I bought a Lenovo Ideapad 110s. Obviously before I bought the hardware I researched and found out about dual booting. So my plan was to access the BIOS Dual boot and permanently install a Linux based operating system. When I got it I realized that Lenovo has a huge security restricion's on the hardrives and it wasnt as easy. A friend and I managed to get dual booting working on it. However, the OS's wouldnt install properly although the installation process says its finished installing properly on the computer, once I reboot I get prompted with a boot order and although the hardrive is on the list it glitches out and refuses to boot. Ive tried installing; Tails,Ubuntu,LinuxMint,ParrotOS, and Kali linux. All failed with the same issue. One user recommended I use Dual Boot in persistence mode, so I tried that and it seemed to work in the beginning. I made a partition on my drive and everything. However when I shutdown and rebooted the laptop persistence failed and deleted my files and users. I really need some professionals and stumbled upon this site. Whoever can help thank you it means alot to me, I really want to believe that I dont have to throw away my laptop. But since Ive tried everything Im beginning to loose hope.

Well the highest probability is that what you call Dual Boot is Not working correctly.

Since you did not explained what technically you did, there is Nothing to say beside expressing Sympathy.

What would you like me to go into detail? I used Rufus 2.14 to format my drive. I used an ISO image formatted my drive to Fat 32. Im pretty sure I did the formatting my USB correctly because as I said it all worked fine in the Bios. I was able to go through the installation process.
