      …-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
