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?
Was able to power down the system using the #ApplicationLauncherSearch, but the color settings need to be fixed.

Does this have to be done via BIOS settings before booting? Once the system starts, I can hardly see a thing, got lucky with the launcher.
The system did start and looks sort of like a windows 1.0 desktop, but in white on bright yellow, almost unreadable.
Thoughts?
Ok. The installation on the stick is completed.
I put the stick in the target system (HP) and did not mess with any further settings, but pressed Try Ubuntu (first option).
Then, I selected the colorful (:)) option "Try Ubuntu" (without installation)
ok, at stick of at least 12 GB is required. Had to switch.
Also, OMENs are not certified for #Ubuntu, will try anyway:

I am going for the most recommended https://etcher.balena.io
ETCHER FOR LINUX X64 (64-BIT) (APPIMAGE)

It has at least two USB ports: one even 3.1, if I remember correctly.
Yes, re/ #LibreOffice and #OfficeOnline - no re/ compatibility and performance.
Excellent.
Just cleaned a stick. Will try your 1st suggestion now.

"...that make the install process exponentially more difficult and tiresome. Not only that, but HP has it's own quarks to it. Such as optane memory management, IRST and various proprietary options that need to be disabled while trying to install Linux"
This sounds very serious to me, however, it was 4 years ago - a lifetime, even for BIOS/OS related issues.
Thoughts?
@amunizp
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.
IMO sth. would..
