So does that mean that my laptop can not run Linux? I did not face any problems with my laptop with Windows, only when trying to install Zorin!
Yes it working. Link what i send.
I checked the link and did not see answer to my question!
I will check virtualization and disable it. My laptop without docking station
People talking the problem is on bios. Update bios could fix that problem.
virtualization already disabled. Should I change the BIOS from RAID to AHCI ?
I updated the BIOS about 2 years ago, and my guess it is up to date because it is very old laptop workstation.
Thanks for PDF .. but what should I be looking for?

Not sure I understand what you mean!
It should not affect your Linux install.
All my desktops and laptops are running Zorin with virtualization enabled enabled (I need it to run Windows VM).
You should check if AHCI will work. RAID is sometimes required for NVme.
I changed it to AHCI and did not help! I think the problem is related to display or video card because I can hear the sound of Zorin starting up but it just display that strange junk:
Thanks for this observation.
Yes, it is definitely a GPU problem.
Can you give me more detail of your hardware?
I see the HP logo but do you know which model you have?

Alternative Distributions
As an alternative to the installation of Ubuntu and subsequently fixing all problems, it is possible to install derived distributions from Ubuntu like Pop!_OS with NVIDIA support. In principle this is Ubuntu but with all the drivers necessary to make the graphics card, backlight, ACPI and touchpad work out of the box. The installation does also not require you to select discrete graphics by default, hence your battery life will be better.
Things that need to be changed in the BIOS (for Pop!_OS) are:
- Go to the Advanced tab, select Secure Boot Configuration.
- Set Legacy Support Enable and Secure Boot Disable
After these changes you are good to go to install Pop!_OS.
