I tried uploading a picture, but couldn’t figure out how, I will try again after work.

As for some system information it’s an old Dell Optiplex 710 workstation, it’s has UEFI but no option to turn off secure boot.

USB 2 port.

If I have to I will, not really looking to go down any of the Debian flavors.

I’m running a very old dell optiplex 710, it has uefi but no option to turn off secure boot.

So I did try that, I went and installed with grub 2 inside ventoy, the installer works but I can’t boot my installed system now.

Give an actual reason for why, don’t just say use arch/nix cause it’s what’s hot and hip.
