PS:
Funny that it DOES seem possible to install Ubuntu on an OMEN-17 after all.
I quickly read through the steps and recognized them.
Of course, I did not press install but went for the direct boot from stick.
In any event, my feeling now is that what the machine says is correct: there is a problem with MY BIOS.
As I took pics, I will send them to HP as well.

...e up on UBUNTU and use the flash drive to generate a windows bootstick. Too bad.
But thanks again.

...-no changes possible.
I then Powered Off the system and it hung in several error lines. - Too risky for me and the 1024x768 is unusable nowadays.
So, final verdict: OMEN is incompatible with UBUNTU, at least.
Also, I tried to use the Boot Stick on my old ASUS. I did add the USBdrive as 1st boot priority. However, the Laptop does not recognize any bootable OS at all.
I therefore giv

I refrain from asking why.
I am thankful for the solution path. Will try it tomorrow.

...have done, is to check and reset the max #BatteryCapacity, a manager from a specialist battery company informed me recently. The content on the upgrade SSDs is still unchanged, though.

...need to be reset in the BIOS, though what, no idea whatsoever.
Not sure if I understood everything. I created the USB bootstick with the latest 5yr "warranty" versión.
Then, I reebooted and selected the 1st option: start or install.
I then selected boot from USB.
Then I got the BIOS Error screen for some second.
After that, the yellow screen from the UEL below, but with white instead of green.
Note: I've never seen a working #Linux desktop.
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..

"...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?
I hope I don't lose any of the helpful new contacts who responded to my initial question by adding something I found from 4 (!)years ago re/ my PC:

I'd advise against hp laptops if you can find an alternative it would be much more simple of an install process. Gaming motherboards by themselves have been known to have excessive bios/uefi settings...

Gerne. Bin gespannt, was du sagen wirst.
