From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not an HP owner or user. So Googled, and it seems the process is straightforward.
#linuxmint builds on #ubuntu, and is a leading install and forget distribution which is also a good starting point for newcomers.
That said, not clear on how you got the BIOS errors. Could you walkthrough to it please?

Not sure if I understood everything. I created the USB bootstick with the latest 5yr "warranty" versión.
Then, I reebooted and selected the 1st option: start or install.
I then selected boot from USB.
Then I got the BIOS Error screen for some second.
After that, the yellow screen from the UEL below, but with white instead of green.
Note: I've never seen a working #Linux desktop.

Ubuntu is asking to enable sgx, which can be done as explained in the answers here https://askubuntu.com/questions/1406760/sgx-disabled-by-bios-in-ubuntu-22-04
Enter BIOS, go to security section, set the Intel software guard extension option to enabled -- from the top voted answer
The accepted answer explains a workaround. The catch being that watching 4K Blu-ray will be impossible.

I refrain from asking why.
I am thankful for the solution path. Will try it tomorrow.

Sooo...,
I have succeeded in using your "SGX to "enable" pretty quickly.
Still, same errors and the yellow UBUNTU.
I then saw that there is another boot option with "safe graphics", which I used. And (partial) "bingo": I finally got a boot, but still the same disturbing BIOS errors.
The System then booted in a "safe mode" with 1024x768 resolution.
I found where I could (theoretically) change this, but as it is "safe mode"--...

...-no changes possible.
I then Powered Off the system and it hung in several error lines. - Too risky for me and the 1024x768 is unusable nowadays.
So, final verdict: OMEN is incompatible with UBUNTU, at least.
Also, I tried to use the Boot Stick on my old ASUS. I did add the USBdrive as 1st boot priority. However, the Laptop does not recognize any bootable OS at all.
I therefore giv

...e up on UBUNTU and use the flash drive to generate a windows bootstick. Too bad.
But thanks again.
