Hi, that's not a lot of information. Your BIOS/UEFI most likely offers an option to reset all BIOS/UEFI settings to default values. Consider doing this and then check if CSM (Compatibility Support Module) is disabled and if secure boot is disabled. If not, deactivate both, deactivating CSM ensures that UEFI is used instead of the legacy BIOS mode and deactivating secure boot ensures that nothing is unnecessarily complicated. In my experiences UEFI does not complicate the installation of an Ubuntu flavour [1], the user does not to know anything about it. Regards, Ralf [1] Depending on the domain I'm in favor of Arch Linux, https://archlinux.org/ or iPadOS, https://imgur.com/ipads-2025-04-07-MaryPeJ . But I also like Alpine Linux, Ubuntu flavours without snaps, FreeBSD and even Windows running in a hypervisor. IMO there is no operating system that does it all. -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users
