At the boot I press F9 and a menu appears where I can choose to boot from USB stick; but then it doesn't so at all booting instead into Windows 11. In BIOS I enabled the CSM protocol but nothing. Please help as I don't know what to do: thanks. Rodolfo
A procedure to get around the Windows 11 malware, and to be able to boot into Linux, has, I believe, been described on the Ubuntu Users mailing list.
My understanding is that, to boot into Linux or any other non-MS operating system, Windows 11 should be avoided like the plague that it is, and, that a computer with the Windows 10 OS should be obtained, rather than the malware that is Windows 11.
Windows 11 also, in the malware that it is, proscribes software that runs on Windows 10 and earlier versions of Windows.
The best use for a Windows 11 computer, is to use it as a projectile. Such computers are not even substantial enough to use as boat anchors.
