so here is my problem. I downloaded the ubuntu 20.04 iso image and applied it to my pen drive. I plug in the pen drive, reboot my system, and hit the f11 key at least 4 times. and then, I just get a black screen. it stays stuck in the process of loading the options which would allow me to boot from my pen drive. what do I do? does this have anything to do with installing what some call the ''grub menu''? I'm unaware of what it is exactly.

I'm guessing that the boot image you put on the pen drive was not written correctly. My advice would be to completely re-write it using a tool like Rufus or just using the dd command from another Linux machine. (These seem to be the most reliable methods for me.)
Do not use uunetbootin, the windows iso writer, or anything of that nature I've not had consistent results with those and they rarely work out.
