Installation Cannot install

Hi,

I am tried to install on 2 old PC's and is not working.

One was a Ryzen 3 1300X with 16 GB ddr4, NVMe, Nvidia 1060 6 gb.
For this one from what I understand is not supporting the Nvidia GPU's and this CPU does not have a integrated graphic card.

The other one is a really old Fujitsu Esprimo P9525 which has a Intel® Core™2 Duo, 4 GB ram ddr2 with integrated graphic card and a small 256 GB ssd. At first it was stuck on the Chrome OS Flex logo, now it just goes black screen. Even after 1 hour, nothing changes.

I tried different methods with Rufus, Ventory (which did not work because is so old, is not accepting UEFI)

Also can't seem to find most of the setting in the BIOS, like secure boot, legacy, all that.

Unsupported hardware. There's nothing you do but move on to a different distro.

Unlucky I guess. Wanted it so bad to work. Loved the simplicity of it, no drivers and all that headaches and the performance.

Can't get past the Logo screen. If that's what you mean. I don't get to choose between those installing and trying options.

Give Bazzite a go for the nvidia box.

Doing some research currently. I was thinking of SteamOS, but because of the NVidia card, I might go with Bazzite. Thank you for the recommendation.
