It's literally never been easier in the history of the universe to install linux.

Maybe posting this in the LINUX sub, with specific details about you interaction with said "new computer" would allow some of the Linux Autists weigh-in with helpful & useful insights....

- Start with the brand of computer
- specs Amount of Memory, Hard drive type/size
- current O/S
- Error/Warning messages...
- ETC

Motherboard. Could be a certain bios setting or something.

Probably just wants secure boot turning off in BIOS.

What a completely fucking useless post. Bravo. You've provided specifically zero information to get any help but just enough to look like a retard.

Disable Efi and enable legacy boot. Or can you not do that with new PCs these days?

some linux distributions have a better partition manager than others. Which are you using? What message are you getting?

1. Don't complicate things. Just try the default options in Ubuntu installer. You can complicate things / distro hop later after you get shit figured out.
2. Turn off UEFI in BIOS
3. Make sure USB is your first boot option.
