Alright, I feel I am at a loss with no idea how to proceed.
New notebooks appear to be only able to boot from USB sticks formatted in fat32.
All the Linux tools for creating a bootable USB drive only seem to make the sticks formatted in iso9660.
Is there anything I can do to install Linux on a notebook? I never had this issue with any of my old notebooks before.
