I've had my computer for over a year now, and since the day I've bought him I've been trying to install Ubuntu (or another Linux partition) in dual boot, and I was never able to. Basically, everytime I'm in the installion process, my computer either freezes midway or doesn't let me choose which option I want. This has happened with several partitions, and I've disabled secure boot everytime I tried to install it. Some people at my university say it has to do with my graphics card, but I don't really know why this happens. I also have a friend with the same pc model as me, and he can't install linux in dual boot aswell. Does anyone know what can be causing this and how to solve it?
