So I was able to follow the suggestions and create an ISO with WytWun's Linuxium link, and then a USB stick with the ISO via Etcher. I was able to start the laptop and load the OS. Upon restart, however, I get the message
"Default Boot Device Missing or Boot Failed.
Insert Recovery Media and Hit any key.
Then Select 'Boot Manager' to choose a new Boot Device or to Boot Recovery Media."
Anything I try after that just gets me an 'ubuntu failed to boot' message. I tried with both enabled and disabled secure boot; no luck.
Eventually I restarted with the Etcher USB stick, which booted OK, and reinstalled LL. ... No difference. Same error messages, same issues.
Any thoughts?
