Thanks for your reply.
There are two reviewers on Amazon who bought the laptop who got Ubuntu
20.04 working, so I thought I could also do so.
It is possible in theory, I think.

Based on all of this troubleshooting, I think you have stumbled onto the
plague of Linux users everywhere: incompatible hardware. Not all
hardware is guaranteed to work on Linux. In fact, there is a *lot* out
there that is designed specifically to run Windows and does not work on
Linux, no matter how hard you try.
And seeing as how you have had no response in this email list with
anything, I think it should confirm to you that your hardware just plain
does not work on Linux. That might be a tough pill to swallow but it
might very well be the truth, and you might need to consider that.
I'm sorry I can't be of any help, but we're seeing more and more of this
type of dilemma lately where hardware manufacturers, while they might
otherwise manufacture Linux-compatible hardware, do still have a certain
target audience, especially with so-called Gaming laptops: Windows gamers.
So, keep that in mind. Many "gaming" laptops out there aren't
Linux-compatible. It's a tough truth, but it's the truth.
