Hi i'm trying to go from windows to linux. but nothing seems to be installing. i tried linux mint and lubuntu. lubuntu loads but shows a blank screen ( the cursor was there). Mint loaded, but it took a long time, installing nothing. i used rufus. secure boot was off and usb boot was on. please help

Looking at the age and hardware surrounding a Celeron N4000, you should be pretty much supported by everything, but needs must when The Devil vomits on your NVRAM: Try "live cd's/dvd's" from Debian, SuSE and Fedora, also see if Puppy Linux or Knoppix work too (not for installing, just for testing "what works").

When they are "booting", sometimes they offer different options, like "nofb" etc. try those too.

 

If you still don't get anywhere, sell the machine on eBay and buy a reconditioned Lenovo (or try a new USB stick)...
