I installed linux( elementary os 5.1, linux mint 19.3, kde neon, ubuntu 18.04, debian 10) on my HP zbook 15g2 and I have several issues:
1. It cannot boot into operating system by default, i have to copy /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi to /boot/efi/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi but it takes too long time to boot into
2. I cannot shutdown my computer by click on shutdown button or even type sudo shutdown -h now in terminal
If you have any idea, please let me know. Thank you very much

I'm sorry, but we here are not equipped to provide detailed Linux support.
HP only warranties their PCs for usage with the OS that comes preinstalled. IF you replace that with Linux, or add a Linux OS, then you assume full responsibility for maintaining that -- as HP provides Linux assistance only on Redhat and then only to commercial customers.
The primary "challenge" to using Linux on any HP PC is the availability of Linux drivers. Any hardware that does not work will then range from simple (if there are Linux drivers available) to impossible (if there are NO Linux drivers available) to fix.
Since HP does not provide Linux drivers, your best bet for Linux support is to contact the support forum for the Linux distro you are using.
Folks on Linux support forums have experience using a variety of machines with Linux and know a lot about driver and installation issues. You will be able to get sound and detailed help there.
Good Luck
