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)?

    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.

        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.
