Hello AskUbuntu community.
My goal is to install Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 LTS on my Huawei Mate D16 laptop.
I have bought another M.2 SSD drive and installed it in my laptop. So currently I have two physical M.2 SSD drives:
- Fist one is the SSD that the laptop was provided with from the factory - Windows 10,
- Second is the one I've bought and put inside the laptop myself.
I'm writing this to make it clear I'm not attempting to install Ubuntu on the same drive as Windows 10, which is quite a challenge I assume. I have a dedicated physical drive only for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
I have downloaded Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 LTS ISO and I have flashed it to my USB drive using Balena Etcher software.
Then I've restarted the laptop and entered the BIOS settings, but I couldn't find my USB drive to boot from. I've turned Secure Boot
off and tried it again to no avail.

PS C:\Windows\system32> Confirm-SecureBootUEFI
False
After that I've flashed the USB drive again, but it also changed nothing. I still wasn't able to see my Ubuntu Desktop installation USB in BIOS settings.
I've found this, which only made me angry.
I guess my Ubuntu installation USB drive is not FAT32 after I've flashed it with Balena Etcher. It's something different, so how can I boot from this USB drive if disabling Sacure Boot
didn't help??
Under F12 I can access boot manager and it looks like this:
Unless I disable booting from both SSD's in my BIOS, to force my Huawei to boot from USB:
What needs 2 be done to boot this Huawei Mate D16 laptop from Ubuntu flashed USB??
