Mint has a more noob friendly approach with almost everything having a ui and it is Ubuntu under the hood so there wouldn't be extra to learn after switching. Popularity wise mint is one of the best stable distros with Ubuntu as its base with community support as well so if you have doubts you can most probably find the answer just by searching

Tried that as well but that as well uses usb boot so that is also net detecting

How do you reset the firmware ?

Factory defaults tried that

Power through usb and the same on battery

I have completed the windows setup with the usual 3 partition and I used Ubuntu as well but booting is not the problem, the bios just doesn't seem to pick up the pendrive

In the top comment you could see I tried reformatting with gpt as well that was also not working

The first was the ventoy one with mbr which I was fine other machines I have used it before with. It had like endeavour os , opensuse, pop os , linux mint windows 11 etc...

But I also reformatted it with windows 11 from meda creation tool as well to check but that also doesnt work which is the most strangest part

I tried that as well the thing is the usb does not show up in the menu

I would usually go with archwiki to learn most things and then follow distrotube or learnlinuxtv for video and new things.

It can convert to other formats but it requires extra dependencies for it to fully work
