PS:
Funny that it DOES seem possible to install Ubuntu on an OMEN-17 after all.
I quickly read through the steps and recognized them.
Of course, I did not press install but went for the direct boot from stick.
In any event, my feeling now is that what the machine says is correct: there is a problem with MY BIOS.
As I took pics, I will send them to HP as well.

…original stick I had purchased, I could never re-install it due to partition incompatibilities. Not with the new one.
Well, this is solved for now.
I can now figure out which modules are which and send the OMEN back to HP once again.

Thank you very much for your help and your kind words in particular.
I might try again later on, but for now, I need to get my PC moving again.
Strange that it did not work out with the old ASUS laptop either.
I will bookmark this post to be able to get back to it.
Funny enough, creating the Win10 bootstick was a piece of cake (as well) and the installation went smoothly (apart from the “1 m.” updates and restarts).
Strange, with the…

But thanks again.

…-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

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”–…

I refrain from asking why.
I am thankful for the solution path. Will try it tomorrow.

Thanks will look at this tomorrow.
No, the PC had (!) already not been working anymore b/c some smart-ass HP support technician thought it necessary to update the BIOS as a 1st step in finding about why the replaced battery did not work longer than only 45 min. Now, the PC doesn’t find a bookable OS on the 2 upgrade SSD’s anymore, that had been working nicely for several years. What he should…
@amunizp @ubuntu @Linux4Everyone @linux
…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.
https://vitux.com/3-ways-to-shut-down-power-off-your-ubuntu-system/
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)
