OK. You still have your windows working as it was?

With liveUSB nothing should happen but good practice always says to make backups.

There are several LTS (long term support) that slightly overlap in years you can upgrade from one to the next.

You can try another distribution like #linuxmint Or #fedora .

This is what default Ubuntu looks like:

Default fedora:

Default mint:

Because you are only testing maybe use an older distribution for #Ubuntu LTS?
OR

The answer says to enable Wayland. But does not say where to put those commands: Ctrl+Alt+T will open a terminal (command prompt-ish). The first line will open a hacker-like text editor. Do the edit and a menu in the bottom tells you how to save and close. "^" is ctrl key. Nano (the text editor) is made for computers without mice.

This colour thing is interesting.

That is strange #Ubuntu is normally purple or orange. And defo should not look like windows 1.0 . icons run on the left side and a very thin info bar on top

Could it be some sort of BIOS/UEFI config? Screen?

Hi, does the HP omen 17 have a usb port? Do you have a USB stick? You can try several OS very easily. For example: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/try-ubuntu-before-you-install#1-getting-started

I am assuming you know about #libreOffice and office365 (online) but you still want to run excel on Linux. you either need to use a compatible layer thing called #wine or #crossoversoftware for Linux not sure which.

Thanks for this! I use simple camera from F-droid and checked the settings in panic. Thankfully it does not save exif data by default!
