Issues implementing EFI Grub in USB install of Lubuntu to allow usage with both Legacy and UEFI boot configurations
https://askubuntu.com/a/1253617/1098871 is the link to the process I followed.
At step 42 I get an error, ' grub-install: error: /boot/efi doesn't look like an EFI partition.'

After much fretting, I got a working solution. The solution would be to simple type in sudo mount /dev/sdx2 /boot/efi before attempting to install grub.
Thank God I did, because no one here responded.
Anyway, the answer is here. I did it.
I post this answer for anyone who needs help in the future. A more detailed guide including Daniel's guide and some additions by me for adding drivers for Macs and Nvidia GPUs as well as useful generalisation to apply to any distribution of Linux :

The document mentioned above is written with 3 purposes:
- Allow you to make your portable, full-fledged Linux install that will, ideally, work on any non-ARM PC that you wish to boot from.
- Achieve the 1st objective , ideally, on any distro.
- Allow a complete noob to follow instructions and links to achieve the 1st and 2nd objective.
