...need to be reset in the BIOS, though what, no idea whatsoever.

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.

Yes, exactly, but with no green but white instead (even worse contrast).

I read the link now:

"
I managed to solve the problem, I had to set the monitor calibration in Settings/Color and set sRGB as default for both monitors."
Will not work for me as I cannot see a think w/ white on yellow. The power-down button was puré luck.
Also, this us a laptop monitor, no #display buttons, etc.

IMO sth. would..

Too bad, as I was thinking, #BIOS errors with the #Ubuntu #Linux #bootstick.

Any 💡 ideas which settings would need to be changed?

Was able to power down the system using the #ApplicationLauncherSearch, but the color settings need to be fixed.

Does this have to be done via BIOS settings before booting? Once the system starts, I can hardly see a thing, got lucky with the launcher.

The system did start and looks sort of like a windows 1.0 desktop, but in white on bright yellow, almost unreadable.

Thoughts?

Ok. The installation on the stick is completed.
I put the stick in the target system (HP) and did not mess with any further settings, but pressed Try Ubuntu (first option).

Then, I selected the colorful (:)) option "Try Ubuntu" (without installation)

@amunizp

Once you realize, that you need to select the #Etcher version for the host system, not the target #OS you want to install, it is all great. - Already at 20% of #Ubuntu on the #USB stick.

@amunizp

ok, at stick of at least 12 GB is required. Had to switch.

Also, OMENs are not certified for #Ubuntu, will try anyway:

It has at least two USB ports: one even 3.1, if I remember correctly.

Yes, re/ #LibreOffice and #OfficeOnline - no re/ compatibility and performance.

Excellent.

Just cleaned a stick. Will try your 1st suggestion now.
