When booting my Ubuntu after a fresh install, after I select Ubuntu from the grub menu, it starts booting and then it stop with just this one line:

dev/sdaX: clean, XX/XX files, XX/XX blocks

I installed it allong a working Windows 10 that has it's own EFI boot partition, and so Linux uses the same one to install Grub I think.

Here is what I did to solve the problem. The first solution might be required, but it might be worth testing if you have the same problem.

  • I reinstalled Ubuntu following this answer to create a second EFI part for my Linux to boot independently from Windows: https://askubuntu.com/a/843649 I also disabled fastboot and secure boot previously as said in this answer

  • I realized that I could only start my live version with the (safe graphics) option. Found that it starts thanks to a grub option named nomodeset. I then followed this answer to finally be able to boot by setting the grub nomodeset option manually: https://askubuntu.com/a/38834

  • Once finally on my booted Ubuntu, I followed this answer so that it will always boot with the nomodeset option enabled: https://askubuntu.com/a/38782/841934

Hope this will help some people, at least me when I maybe will encounter the problem again in some months/years.

EDIT: as said by heynnema the nomodeset solution was only a temporary fix. What I did next was update my NVIDIA graphic drivers by following the graphical method of this guide: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-the-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-20-04-focal-fossa-linux I then reverted my changes to my grub config to remove the nomodeset option, and rebooted without problem.
