Ubuntu doesn't load after intalling it alongside Windows 10 on Dell G7 7700

It's been a while, hope y'all are doing great. So I had a day off from work today and decided to install Ubuntu 20.04 alongside Windows 10 on my Dell G7 7700, and as expected, everything didn't go well. First, I created a 200GB partition on Windows before booting from my Ubuntu 20.04 LTS flash drive. Then Ubuntu complained about Intel RST and I had to switch Storage SATA from Raid to AHCI in the UEFI. After that, Ubuntu complained about Bitlocker so I had to turn that off in Windows. Anyways, I was finally able to complete Ubuntu installation by selecting "Install alongside Windows". And then, I re-switched Storage SATA from AHCI back to Raid in the UEFI. Cuz otherwise Windows won't launch. So now my computer boots with GRUB and I can choose Windows and it seems to work fine, whereas when I select Ubuntu it doesn't load Ubuntu but sends me this:

Gave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems:
 - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
   - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
 - Missing Modules (cat /proc/modules; ls/dev)
ALERT! UUID=46587d8e-826d-4828-865f-5c4d809b1981 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

BusyBox v1.30.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.30.1-4ubuntu6.3) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

(initramfs) _

But that doesn't ring a bell to me so I ran Boot-repair with my Ubuntu flash-drive and it gave me this: Boot-Repair on Pastebin

So I am a little confused and would like some help to solve this problem.

Thank you very much,

Harp

This reads like a classic case of not being prepared. [Dell’s guide for dual-booting outlines these issues](https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/ja-jp/000131253/how-to-install-ubuntu-and-windows-8-or-10-as-a-dual-boot-on-your-dell-pc?lang=en), and the documentation from Canonical regarding [Intel RST](https://help.ubuntu.com/rst/) and [SecureBoot](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI) is linked to in a lot of online walk-throughs for people trying to run Linux alongside Windows10. This would be a good time to examine which features you need from both OSes, and set a common BIOS config

Ok I have seen these tutorials and that's why I switched Intel RST and Secure Boot off. Maybe I shouldn't have installed ubuntu alongside, but rather select something else instead...

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
