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.

I have some homework for you.
Can you check your bios and tell us how it's currently configured.
What application are you using to create the live USB? Rufus, Etcher, other? If you used only one so far, like Rufus, can you switch to Etcher or vice versa.
Can you try installing from grub prompt and not live login using debian 13 or Zorin OS.
BIOS offers only UEFI and secure boot disabled
using mint to make usb drive with mx linux
on grub check comment below
In Mint, what program are you using to make USB drive? Sometimes the program used to make the live usb can be the cause of the installation issue. Are you using Etcher or Unetbootin or dd or something else?
