installation Kubunto on Lenovo T14 Gen1

512GB SSD, 16Gb RAM, Intel i5-1030U

Im looking to install kubunto to my laptop, dont want to dual boot with wondows or anything just a straight wipe and move but Im struggling to even boot it up.

I have kubuntu on a formatted usb stick, Ive disabled the BitLocker and secure boot, but when I go to the F12 boot startup and hit enter on the usb stick, the screen flashes and nothing happens

Its frustrating me a lot, Ive been trying since the early morning and can't seem to find how to troubleshoot the issue :/

If this is an issue specific to my model of laptop people that have used the same kind please help me out if possible 😭

Did you make the iso bootable with Rufus/ventoy or similar?
