I tried to install Ubuntu

[T]

I set it to boot from the usb in BIOS and then it tried to load windows 11 again which failed then it restarted. Then it had the ubuntu logo but after that it was just dark even after a while.

I panicked and just went to windows 10.

Need more detail. Is the install medium using MBR?
How did you set up the bootable USB?
Did you enable CSM or legacy mode?
Did you shut off secureboot?

I used balena etcher to put it on the usb.

I tried to just plug it in and then restart the computer but that did nothing.

I then pressed f9 while my computer was loading up, and selected something about boot order, changing it to the usb.

Then it opened another menu where one of the options was "try/install ubuntu" but before I could click anything it started to try to load windows 11 again.

I restarted after windows 11 failed to load, then it had the Ubuntu logo underneath the HP logo.

I did not enble CSM or legacy mode, and do not know about that.

I did not shut off secureboot, did not know I needed to.

You should be able to raise the boot menu timeout timer if you can edit /etc/default/grub on the usb drive.

You can also use Rufus to burn an .iso Ubuntu image on a USB stick.

Essential if you have a pen > 32gb. Windows doesn't support the required file system on larger pens.

Download the OS ISO.
Use RUFUS to properly format the usb as bootable using the Select Image option

Alright I did it with Rufus now and it didn't do the dark screen but now it starts to load Ubuntu when I click "try or install Ubuntu" and then it shows some ACPI error:AE_NOT_FOUND and ACPI error:AE_ALREADY_EXISTS. Then it loads up Windows 10.

Ensure these are set in the BIOS...

No RAID, set SATA mode to AHCI if not already.
Disable TPM + Secure Boot
Set ACPI Mode to S1 & S3 (not just S1)

Update to latest BIOS version if newer one exists.
To easily update BIOS, google search your Motherboard model name.
For example: ASUS Prime X570-E (if it is a Gigabyte branded board, you must know and go by the REV ## as well) so for example: Gigabyte Aorus Elite Wifi Rev 1.1 (or 1.2, 2.1; etc.) The Revision of Gigabyte board is important because their BIOS releases differ not just board model to board model but also from board revision to revision as well)

Once you reach the official support site for your exact Motherboard click on the Support section where is shows wording such as: [ Key Features | Specification | Support | Learn more ]

Then look for BIOS below after clicking Support. As it should have available downloads for BIOS Updates. The latest BIOS Update/Version would have all previous updates included. Once you download the file, it might be a compressed file in ZIP, RAR or 7Z file type. Extract the files within it (7-Zip is 100% freeware and can easily handle those file types; ZIP RAR 7Z; etc.) to a USB Flash Drive; such as the one you made for Win10, 11 or Linux. Have the USB Flash Drive plugged into a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port in the Rear of the Motherboard. Once you extracted the files to the root of the flash drive; reboot your system and enter the BIOS. Once in the BIOS look for Update BIOS within there and move forward with that. It should be able to find the file on USB and then proceed with the update process. Do not interrupt the update process or reboot/power-off the system at any time during such a process.

Alright I updated the BIOS and disabled secureboot and TPM. I couldn't find the settings for the SATA mode or ACPI mode anywhere in the BIOS setup. I saw "s3/s4/s5 wake on lan" but didn't enable it.

It still says "ACPI BIOS Error (bug):Failure creating named object", "AE_ALREADY EXISTS" and "AE_NOT_FOUND".

It worked with safe graphics mode actually, but I'm not really sure what I should do about properly installing it and fixing the problem.

Some people with similar problems said to select a "nomodeset" setting but I don't know where to do that if it doesn't let me get on it without safe graphics mode.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

I would try a different Linux Distro; such as Mint, Manjaro, Kubuntu...

From what I recall the 'nomodeset' needs to be set in the GRUB bootloader before starting the install. Hitting 'e' on the GRUB menu should allow you to edit the launch configs. Append to the end of the 'linux' line

nomodeset i915.modeset = 0
or
nomodeset nouveau.modeset=0

i915 is for intel and nouveau is for nVidia. That should get you through to at least the install screen. Strange that you have this error on Ubuntu, I've only ever encountered this issue in Arch based distros.

i think u should pick a different distro if this many issues so early

Yeah this worked actually. The error still shows after I click try Ubuntu but it does load.

It's just one issue really, since the black screen problem I had at the start was because I messed up making the usb.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Rufus allows you to make the usb multiple ways. Just ensure it's set to UEFI and it should be fine. Once you add the image ISO it should auto detect the partition format to use.

Maybe try Rufus 2.xx instead of 3.xx
