>>368747That's not relevant to OP's problem: it's a howto on how to avoid the problem of the older "LTS" branch of Ubuntu not having XHCI drivers, but the computer only having XHCI controllers, and thus Ubuntu is not able to access any USB device, even internal ones like the keyboard and mouse.
>>368671>Windows 10Your computer boots from UEFI, and won't boot legacy devices without a lot of fucking about. Installing an OS that uses legacy boot would mean replacing your partition table because legacy doesn't understand GPT, and your drive is almost certainly partitioned GPT.
it's going to be far less hassle to just create working UEFI media, so go do that.
>>368724No, it's going to be because the desktop is set to boot legacy, and the laptop isn't. One OS doesn't care what word length another OS on the same disk is using, and 32-bit-only processors can now only be found in disposable Android phones.
