[@mina](https://berlin.social/@mina) Guten Morgen Mina, Seit ein paar Tagen lässt sich [#YouTube](https://mastodon.social/tags/YouTube) nun auch in Deutschland nicht mehr mit [#Werbeblocker](https://mastodon.social/tags/Werbeblocker) verwenden. Ich habe deshalb mal etwas recherchiert und habe mir nun fürs [#Android](https://mastodon.social/tags/Android) [#Smartphone](https://mastodon.social/tags/Smartphone) das alternative [#Frontend](https://mastodon.social/tags/Frontend) [@newpipe](https://lemmy.ml/c/newpipe) installiert. Der nachfolgende Artikel führt weitere Alternativen auf und ich habe gerade auch weitere interessante posts zum Thema [#YT](https://mastodon.social/tags/YT)-Alternativen geboostet, vllt. auch für dich von Interesse.

@feditips and I strongly discourage using #Lemmy. Here is why:

#Kbin can be used instead.

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...

...-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...

HistoPol Now • 100%
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.

I get that point, which is what I had hoped for to switch.
However, I would still be working on a "Windows PC," though a virtual one, as I work with MS O365 must of the time, apart from the browser and some other app's for editing pictures, pdf's, etc., but that is just "cosmetics."
I am not a security pro, but my VM would still be hooked up to the WWW, so what is the (security/privacy) difference - apart from that I can more easily reset the PC to an earlier state?
Also, you still..

Thanks for your reply.
The VM idea is feasible. I am presently doing it on a Windows PC, while the Omen is supposed to be being repaired. However, this reduces performance, as memory is shared, etc.
If I have the VM(ware) on Linux instead of Win10 or 11, what would I have as benefits?

Too bad, as I was thinking, #BIOS errors with the #Ubuntu #Linux #bootstick.
Any 💡 ideas which settings would need to be changed?
[@Linux4Everyone](https://fosstodon.org/@Linux4Everyone) [@linux](https://lemmy.ml/c/linux) [@linux](https://lemmy.ml/c/linux) I have got a question for all the [#tech](https://mastodon.social/tags/tech) people out there with experience regarding [#hp](https://mastodon.social/tags/hp) and [#Linux](https://mastodon.social/tags/Linux) [\#Windows11](https://mastodon.social/tags/Windows11) is being rolled out and I probably will have to set up my Laptop again. Never used [#Linux](https://mastodon.social/tags/Linux) on a PC, so how about: Do [#Linux](https://mastodon.social/tags/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)?
