Hello again, I've sorta solved this issue: And in the process, created another. Figured that this is a different issue and needed a new thread. So what is wrong? Well, the environments created by the two programs from the same iso are different. The one on the left is UUI, the one on the right is rufus. As you can see, both are prompting me to either try or install ubuntu. However, the UUI one on the left got to the screen instantly, and hitting enter will boot it quickly to my test environment (which is simply a "try ubuntu" environment) but the one on the right takes a while to get to the install/try screen, and another short while to get to the ubuntu test environment. Is there a way I can make a ubuntu "test" disk that automatically boots to the try ubuntu mode without any input from the user? The flash drives created with UUI doesn't boot on everything, and the rufus one needs more user input and time to get to the same place. Any ideas? I'm not using a persistance file because it breaks stuff after a while, though if I could configure defaults on things such as showing battery percentage and a shortcut to keyboardtester.com, that would be super handy Thanks!

It's likely one system is starting in UEFI mode, which causes that display on the left. Would switching USB ports on other computers produce the same effect? Also, Rufus is a solid choice for creating USB drives under Windows—it's reliable and has worked consistently. If you're aiming for persistent storage, installing it via another USB installer can be effective. I've used this method before and it performs adequately for speed.
