I put Ubuntu 22.04 on a bootable USB and checked it worked until I restarted. After that, the PC won’t boot at all—neither the OS nor the USB. I’m trying to reinstall it now. Any suggestions? Edited December 7, 2023 by sovepose

Secure boot is not activated by default. Most Linux distributions need it turned off, though it can be useful in certain situations. It's generally a measure to block non-Windows OSes.

I believe disabling secure boot should be paired with clearing any saved keys. There likely needs to be a setting in BIOS for this. It might simply point to an Ubuntu problem. After two years of trying Linux, I’ve noticed it’s become quite frustrating. From my own experience, it feels like the software is unreliable—even Manjaro seems more stable. I remember several times struggling to load the install media, ending up stuck on the splash screen. When I finally got Ubuntu to work, the system would crash immediately after uninstalling default Snap apps so I could use repo or Flatpak versions. Distros built around Ubuntu have often proven problematic, which is why I’ve stopped using them. Personally, I’d recommend going with Linux Mint Debian Edition instead. Debian offers much better stability and a more user-friendly interface compared to Ubuntu, making it a much better choice overall.

Actually, I discovered the drive is faulty. It seems to be integrated into the motherboard. I assume a new PC would have been better. The issue wasn't with the CPU, but the SSD.

You're asking about the internal components of a PC. The storage option varies—some have soldered drives while others use M.2 slots. Removing just one screw can replace them. Aside from Apple and Chromebooks, most other systems use standard M.2 drives. Make sure to mention or reference specific models if you're seeking more details.

It seems like this device is running slowly and could be fixed with a low-power x86 setup. A $110-120 SSD upgrade can restore functionality, which is better than sending it to a recycling place like REI. Avoid updating the BIOS—it might damage the system. You'll need specialized tools, including removing the screen glass carefully and accessing the internal board via serial cable and command line to reprogram the chip. I have a similar issue, and it's quite frustrating. You'll also need the right skills and equipment to handle that process.
