I'm trying to run a dual boot on my system using any Linux distribution right now. I've experimented with several options. Since I'm not very familiar with this, please let me know if I've made any mistakes. My machine is an HP laptop with a Ryzen 5 3500U processor, and I've turned off Secureboot. I've tried both enabling and disabling legacy boot, but whenever I install a new Linux distro, the system boots into it and I can't access the boot menu. After selecting install, my screen goes dark and doesn't respond. They suggested checking the Caps Lock key and that it might be a kernel issue, recommending a newer distro like Manjaro, but that also caused the same problem.

The distribution operates smoothly using the live USB file instead of starting the installation immediately.

When you choose *Distro* instead of installing, the system displays a black screen.
