I'm facing issues with pop76 and an unusual behavior where the logo appears, then disappears when I press enter. The screen goes black without any further action. When using only Eufi, the process works normally in legacy mode, though it's slower during startup. I've noticed others complaining about Rufus modifying the MBR for GPT files, making it incompatible. I'm using two 960 Evo SSDs and plan to upgrade to NVMe M.2. There seems to be no way to force GPT access with Rufus, especially since it's a hybrid ISO. I'm also curious if connecting a USB hub or using a different motherboard affects the issue. The Z390 Aorus Pro Wi-Fi BIOS update is scheduled for this year.

Ensure your USB drive has a GUID Partition Table. If it lacks one, prepare the image using balenaEtcher or Rufus to create a GPT file. Confirm the drive supports legacy BIOS and that it contains a NVIDIA Card with the appropriate PopOS ISO.

Use the command line with root access to check the USB device. It should appear as /dev/sdb. The ISO file is called poop.iso. To copy it to a bootable USB, run the command provided. This gives you control over the process effectively. Consider mastering this technique!

I choose the custom Nvidia version. What's strange is that others boot into a different Linux version without issues, only Pop76 works. I also test on a UEFI GPT laptop—it starts automatically as only Pop76 does. I try both partitioning options to see the logo screen, which turns black when I enter, and I use all USB creation tools without any changes. I also reset the BIOS to its old settings. Additionally, I use EUFI and GPT to disable the secure boot feature.
