I have got a question for all the #tech people out there with experience regarding #hp and #Linux
#Windows11 is being rolled out and I probably will have to set up my Laptop again. Never used #Linux on a PC, so how about:
Do #Linux distributions support HP omen 17 (2019) ?
If so, which one would you recommend for chiefly MS Office use (64-bit Excel a must) ?
How difficult is a set-up for a non-IT pro who has always worked with Windows (but installed systems)?
You're viewing part of a thread.

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-22-04Enter 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"--...(2/3)
...-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@vipaal @amunizp @Linux4Everyone @linux

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