linux cannot be installed asus bm1503

Q. Did you do a full power reboot after trying to install Linux, and NOT a re-start and did you remove USB drive after installing and before re-booting ?

it also looks like you may have hybrid graphics, try the safe graphic option

@Franku
1. How much RAM does your laptop have?
2. How did you create bootable Linux USB?
3. Are you able to boot Mint from drive, you said it's dual boot.

1. 24GB
2. I created USB first through rufus, then balena etcher, then ventoy.
3. I can't boot any version of any distribute in live-USB mode. Dual-boot is present on my desktop, not on my laptop (the problem with installing linux is just on the laptop)

no installation is taking place. The system is rebooted after selecting the installation option in the live-USB menu.

If same USB stick boots fine one PC then I'd start looking into BIOS settings to find some option that could a culprit.
This is really strange problem you have.

this is for another of the new ASUS motherboards, may be worth skimming through

SolvedUnable to install any linux distribution on ASUS motherboard ​

are you using a nvme drive in your laptop? and is it formatted to gpt? from the first video at the end of it it looks like you are getting a minimal grub so it would seem to me that your grub is going to the wrong location

For an NVME drive

sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=debian --recheck /dev/nvme0n1p1

sudo update-grub

the video shows how the laptop (re)starts with live usb

NVME ....thinks.... there could e another problem, NVMe when purchased new they sometimes have a hidden partition, check and delete if you find one, ones used for windows can also have a hidden partition at the beginning of the drive which would need deleting

The link in post #27 is quite long.......on page 3, the OP solves the problem himself

I have zero idea if the same setting/switch is on your motherboard....but it is well worth a look
