I downloaded the .iso file and created a bootable usb with Ventoy.

This is what I got after booting the usb and selecting "Try or Install Ubuntu". It got stuck here for a few minutes, so I had to press and hold the power button of my PC to close.

enter image description here

secure boot and fast boot is disabled btw Also tried to setup the usb stick with balenaEtcher as well as rufus, but it did not help

And I tried to run the Ubuntu safe graphics option and it works then even though the screen is scuffed. (i can't see the whole window)

afaik I need to install Nvidia drivers i guess before/during/after installation somehow but I don't know how.

My Nvida is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060

thank you

I solved the issue. Here's how;

First of all, there isn't a definitive answer saying if it's okay or not to install Ubuntu 22.04 through Safe Graphics option. And just turned out, it's fine to do so. But know that, afterwards, you'll need to nomodeset to be able to boot (until you install the Nvidia driver). (described below)

So i installed Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop with;

  • Alongside Windows Boot Manager (because i wanted dual boot and already had Windows installed on my disk)
  • Basic Setup (includes media formats, office softwares, etc.)
  • Checked the install third party software option.

After installation, i booted Ubuntu with nomodeset, refer to here for how; How do I set 'nomodeset' after I've already installed Ubuntu? (But only difference is i didn't open up the grub boot screen as described. I simply selected a boot device, and chose Ubuntu that i just had installed)

After booting Ubuntu, i installed my Nvdia driver following here; How do I know which NVIDIA driver I need? (Basically i ran this then restarted my pc that's all; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall)

And that's all.

Thanks @DanielT for his big help along with his other big things <3

One extra thing is i don't know if matters or not but with Rufus and balenaEtcher i was getting grub_platform command not found error on grub boot screen. With Ventoy, i didn't have that so i recommend Ventoy to setup your USB.
