It’s because Mint used to be Ubuntu without the fuss. Now Ubuntu is Ubuntu without the fuss and mint is Ubuntu with broken packages.
The funny part is that Mint was always just Ubuntu with broken packages.
Edit: I think I hurt some feelings

Glad I could help, please leave an upvote on your way out :))
Does the bios have an option to EFI boot from a USB? Sometimes there is a tiny file manager in the boot options that will allow you to boot from an EFI file off a USB key and not just by selecting a different boot option, the issue here seems to be that the firmware is trying to boot from a file that doesn’t exist. The odd part is that it won’t work from your USB because it seem to be trying to chain boot efi files that don’t exist.
Are you sure your live media is good? Does it boot on another system?
Kinda sounds like the bootloader didn’t install or the boot partition got mangled.
If there isn’t anything of value you could just reinstall, would make sense to use fresh media and use the built in verification before installation.
If you need the data back, use a valid live cd to copy it off the system first.
Edit: consider a page file over a swap partition as it can be adjusted on the fly without a reboot. I work with VMs a lot and having a page file has been very helpful when I need a little boost or want to slim down.
Vaxry comes off as butt hurt.
Be sure to grab extra batteries and keep one on the charger. Trust me
