Is USB the highest item in the BIOS boot order? If not, fix that. You mentioned Grub, is Grub the bootloader your system is using?

This. Icecat is on AUR by the way.

Apparently not is my guess
My main issue is that with this computer I cannot enter the boot menu or change any settings. I just got it from a friend who got it for cheap from a garage sale and it came without an OS.
So I booted it from a usb with ubuntu server 19.04, installed it successfully, restarted it, and then found out I'm a retard and must have mistyped my username. It only takes me to tty1 (?) and prompts me to log in on the server.
I never got the chance to change anything about the boot loader
I've tried smashing every key I can think of to try to enter the boot menu but it always just loads anyways.

Ubuntu Mate is a good choice as well
Any of the ubuntu choices are good just take a look at the look of each one and choose whichever looks most aesthetically pleasing

Help me out please fglt. My laptop is a HP elitebook 840 G3. The graphics on onboard, intel HD 520. Anyway according to the specs it can run three monitors and 4k. Well I bought a 4k monitor and it can't handle it. The video it plays is choppy and there's a big diagonal seam across middle when it tries to play. I poresume the seam is a driver issue, but shouldn't this be able to play 4k video smoothly, even if only at 30fps? Is it a linux driver issue most likely cause this crappy playback or am I reading the specs incorrectly. It can handle other stuff fine. I can browse the web on the 4k monitor and have 2 videos playing, one on the laptop screen the other on a third external 1080 screen.
