In the BIOS is secure boot enabled? If it is it is easier to install Linux with secure boot disabled. If it isn't that, then could be a hardware bug Linux lite can't deal with. Had that with Ubuntu on one laptop, while RPM distros worked fine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Well that was it, many thanks!
You are welcome. Secure Boot does work on many distros, but it is extra steps, and when the kernel modules update and you often have to reenroll the keys. It is really not worth it unless you are a high profile target where somebody wants to maliciously alter your OS.
I'm still a noob when it comes to linux, so I'm stuck with this error message. Can anyone help me with this?
Stuck? You didn't even paste the error in a search engine or you would have found the solution in less time than it took you write this sentence.
Try it again without Ventoy
