I'm completely new to linux so I tried Mint booting it up from an usb stick, I really liked it but no matter how I install it or how I set the partitions (I even googled how to install mint with pictures this shit isn't even hard for fuck's sake), it wont mark itself as
bootable, fdisk -l gives me

What the fuck am I doing wrong?
