Real newb here who’s picked up some basic coding but doesn’t understand half the commands I’m using in the terminal or why. I want to figure out why Ubuntu had no/boot/config.txt file, or why it’s empty and nothing was configurable? Thanks!
For dual booting look to PINN - I prefer one OS per card as there is less chance of a card error hitting lots of operating systems / running out of space / deleting the wrong partition.

Dual Boot Venus OS on a Raspberry Pi?
You should be able to achieve that by using PINN. It's an operating system and boot manager for Raspberry Pis (plus more features that you probably don't need).

How to dual-boot (like with grub on a laptop)?
After more reading: The "Raspberry Pi Imager" seem to have something similar called "PINN". Is PINN similar to BerryBoot? https://github.com/procount/pinn/blob/master/README_PINN.md

I would not use NOOBS at all now - its way old and PINN is a better option if you do not use multiple SD cards.

Why does Imager require admin rights?
You could have a look at https://github.com/gitbls/sdm for image management or PINN as a NOOBS replacement.

Raspberry Pi bootloader enables OS installs with no separate PC required
NOOBS is deprecated and no longer maintained or recommended by Raspberry Pi. If you still want a NOOBS like installer then use PINN which is an enhanced fork of NOOBS that is still under active development.

Is there any way you can access the terminal? Like does it take you to the login screen at all? If so, you can mount a different SD card partition (try to mount /dev/mmcblk0p5/ or /dev/sda1/), reboot, and it should work (only if you somehow mounted the recovery partition by accident). This page may be helpful for you in understanding the partition issue and finding which partition to mount if it’s not one of those two above.

WIFI error rpi4 raspberry pi os/lite
The secondary reason I advise against NOOBS is that it has been removed from the downloads page (see here for the GITHUB repository) - the primary is that it does give issues with updates / upgrades and gets in the way. It's much simpler to use a 16Gb or 32Gb card given the way the costs have dropped.
