For some reason after buying a new computer, I wanted to install Linux on it, and simply no distro works

First I tried installing Endeavor OS because I was too lazy to install arch, but I got the error "initramfs unpacking failed", then I tried manually installing Arch Linux, and it just didn't work either,Giving me the same error but with the difference that this is "invalid magic at start of compressed archive", when the Endeavor OS one was something like "ZSTD-compressed data is corrupt"

I don't know what to do anymore and I think it's a problem with my hardware.

G'day Doris, Welcome to Linux.org

Before starting the install, did you disable fast boot and secure boot in bios ?

Please give us the specs of the new computer.
 
Were you getting those errors when booting from the live usb with?
