I am trying to install Linux (POP!_OS) on my new laptop. However I can't even seem to get started. I am trtying first to download the OS and then do a checksum on the downloaded file. The commands I found to do this don't appear to exist on my system (HP Compaq 8000 Elite SFF Business PC, running Windows 7 Pro). I decided to go ahead and move forward with creating the USB boot stick, but this isn't working either. I downloaded Balena Etcher and ran the file. It didn't go as expected. The window opened, but there are no buttons nor title within it. The only functional buttons are the minimize and shutdown buttons. Any advice?
Thanks,
