Guten Morgen Mina,
Seit ein paar Tagen lƤsst sich #YouTube nun auch in Deutschland nicht mehr mit #Werbeblocker verwenden.
Ich habe deshalb mal etwas recherchiert und habe mir nun fĆ¼rs #Android #Smartphone das alternative #Frontend @newpipe installiert.
Der nachfolgende Artikel fĆ¼hrt weitere Alternativen auf und ich habe gerade auch weitere interessante posts zum Thema #YT-Alternativen geboostet, vllt. auch fĆ¼r dich von Interesse.

IMPORTANT
@feditips and I strongly discourage using #Lemmy. Here is why:

#Kbin can be used instead.

...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

Sooo...,
I have succeeded in using your "SGX to "enable" pretty quickly.
Still, same errors and the yellow UBUNTU.
I then saw that there is another boot option with "safe graphics", which I used. And (partial) "bingo": I finally got a boot, but still the same disturbing BIOS errors.
The System then booted in a "safe mode" with 1024x768 resolution.
I found where I could (theoretically) change this, but as it is "safe mode"--...

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

Thanks will look at this tomorrow.
No, the PC had (!) already not been working anymore b/c some smart-ass HP support technician thought it necessary to update the BIOS as a 1st step in finding about why the replaced battery did not work longer than only 45 min. Now, the PC doesn't find a bookable OS on the 2 upgrade SSD's anymore, that had been working nicely for several years. What he should...
@amunizp @ubuntu @Linux4Everyone @linux
...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" versiĆ³n.
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 purƩ luck.
Also, this us a laptop monitor, no #display buttons, etc.
IMO sth. would..
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?
@amunizp @Linux4Everyone @linux
Too bad, as I was thinking, #BIOS errors with the #Ubuntu #Linux #bootstick.
Any š” 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.
https://vitux.com/3-ways-to-shut-down-power-off-your-ubuntu-system/
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)

I have got a question for all the #tech people out there with experience regarding #hp and #Linux
\#Windows11 is being rolled out and I probably will have to set up my Laptop again. Never used #Linux on a PC, so how about:
Do #Linux distributions support HP omen 17 (2019) ?
If so, which one would you recommend for chiefly MS Office use (64-bit Excel a must) ?
How difficult is a set-up for a non-IT pro who has always worked with Windows (but installed systems)?
