I honestly can’t think of one.

In Mint, what program are you using to make USB drive? Sometimes the program used to make the live usb can be the cause of the installation issue. Are you using Etcher or Unetbootin or dd or something else?

I have some homework for you.

Can you check your bios and tell us how it’s currently configured.

What application are you using to create the live USB? Rufus, Etcher, other? If you used only one so far, like Rufus, can you switch to Etcher or vice versa.

Can you try installing from grub prompt and not live login using debian 13 or Zorin OS.

I am confused. What is this a photo of? I mean, why do I see icons on the left if you are unable to install and boot to login screen?

This had a whiff of being an Onion headline that has been republished elsewhere (it happens). But no, looked into it, she died in 2016.

If you identify your laptop (including model number) someone who has the same hardware might be able to make a solid recommendation.
