I'm attempting to install Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon on my Asus Zenbook A14, but I'm running into issues booting from my USB. I've already turned off BitLocker recovery, secure boot, and fast boot. I also tried creating the USB using Etcher, Rufus, and Ventoy. Etcher didn't show up in the boot menu, but Rufus and Ventoy did, although they both failed to boot. Each time I attempt to boot from the USB, I get a "(name of drive) boot failed" error. I've verified the ISO before flashing the USB, but I'm still stuck and looking for advice. I've heard about enabling "legacy boot," but I can't find that option in my BIOS, and it seems it's not available at all on the ASUS site.

You might want to check if the "legacy boot" setting you're looking for is listed as "CSM" in your UEFI menu. It can be tricky to find in some BIOS versions.
If that doesn't work, I suggest trying a different USB stick entirely. Sometimes the drive itself can be the issue.
Also, don't forget that installing Linux is often smoother over an Ethernet connection rather than Wi-Fi, just a tip!
