Context: I tried installing Ubuntu in my HP Aero 13 (Ryzen 5 processor 64bit, 16 GB ram, 2.3Ghz Radeon Graphics, with pre-loaded windows). I created a bootable USB but the installation media would get stuck at start-up for some reason. I tried multiple times and waited for almost an hour (which should take a maximum of 30 seconds as per the specs). After that I tried the same with different versions of Ubuntu, but every single trial failed somehow. For the case of Ubuntu 20.04, it loaded and installed successfully, but the system lagged and strangely, it would boot up very quickly sometimes but sometimes it would get stuck while booting and the overall performance was way slower. This is when I started looking for other ways to get Ubuntu running. I tried creating a persistent bootable USB (basically installed the OS in a USB Drive). There was the same issue with 22.04 and 20.04. This time I tried installing Ubuntu 18.04 but I wasn’t able to edit partitions. When I tried installing ubuntu 16.04, the installation crashed. I tried booting the installation media (Ubuntu 22.04) in my old laptop and it worked just fine without any issue. There shouldn’t be any compatibility issue as my laptop is fairly recent, and Ubuntu runs really well even in systems with lower specs. I tried using Virtual Box, but I find using it inconvenient. I don’t want to dual boot my device as it may reduce the performance. Please help me out if anyone knows what I might be missing. Thanks in advance.
