In Linux Lite, applications are named for their function, not their “real” names. A newbie wouldn’t know that Evince is a pdf viewer or that Thunar is the file manager. Linux Lite is for novices who don’t know even what they don’t know. This one little thing is very thoughtful, all by itself. Linux Lite includes a magnificent set of tools to make maintaining and tweaking the OS effortless and non-stressful, with point-and-click simplicity and explanations for us non-tech types. If unsure, there are explanations and the support of this awesome forum, in which the Lead Developer actively participates. That is rare! You can even clean up systemd logs in a couple of mouse clicks! Lite Tweaks is probably the best point-and-click "cleaning and maintenance" application for any Linux distro.

I've tried to look around but I'm not finding any details on what's going on. There was a mention of bad hardware, but if my other ISO's are booting no problem I dont think that is the issue.

I thought I would never say this, but I think you should try the KDE edition of https://mxlinux.org/. Source: 12 months ago
I tried so many Fedora, Linux mint, Ubuntu, Manjaro, Debian, Arch Linux, Opensuse Tumbleweed . And so on actually pretty much everything off Distro watch, YouTube , and any others I head about. And I found something I liked by each version. I'm kind thinking sticking with Manjaro, tumbleweed, Linux mint, Ubuntu, or Fedora. So honestly I can give opinions on each distribution.

Give MXLinux (https://mxlinux.org/) a go. Can be installed to an external drive, and changes are persistant. Source: about 1 year ago
They are using Linux Mint, but you can use something like Xubuntu or even Linux Lite, which would be a great option to run on slower hardware and especially a USB drive. Source: almost 3 years ago
