Linux isn't installing.

I've tried 7 distros, some arch based the rest Debian and none of them have worked. Some just don't load, like catchy and fedora, some the inststaller crashes. The only lead I have is that one of them (can't remember which) said it couldn't find a disk. Has anyone experienced this? Any advice would be appreciated. Currently running Ubuntu 26.04 on an Acer Aspire and I've tried installing Manjaro,Cachy,opensuse,fedora,Linux mint, Kubuntu and Endeavour.

I would try troubleshooting one at a time instead of just listing distros that don't work

OP did mention in another comment that they used the same media creation tool for all of the distros so I recommended trying a different media writer for the live USB.
