And you probably confirmed that live boot worked too I assume.
In the actual bios, can you see a boot order and see uefi for Windows/whatever is on your internal disk? But not any other entries?

I suggest a few more things:
Try a different brand usb. Different motherboards sometimes don't support some usb brands. In fact, a Lenovo server I rebuilt refused to boot off certain usbs.
Some motherboards don't initialise boot off some usb ports. Sometimes the additional ports are on another controller and initialise too slow.
Just try a straight working Ubuntu live boot usb to remove any ventoy from equation. Ubuntu has real signed uefi (and no shim) granted by Microsoft. I think that's how it works, uefi is a mess.
Try to start isolating all the different factors, and there could be more. It doesn't necessarily mean anything definitive if it works on another machine.
I was using trillion in 2000 until I think the freeware started suggesting pro on 2002 and moved to pidgin from then until MSN messenger stopped working one day meaning messengers I had back then got fragmented. I stopped using all messengers shortly after.
Hearing news about pidgin is like a blast from the past.
The application yes, but the programmer? That requires network, api and a sent packet or more.
Just because you run a binary doesn't mean a server across the Internet knows you.
Users though, disregard my advice. Assume what you run is running foreign remote code that could encrypt and ransom you.
It's PKI, public key infrastructure. It's secure so it's used in many applications. Including ssh using keys.
Well good news! Time to let yourself love again!
I ended up reading it on bleeping computer since the linked site looks like an auto tldr bot saved 50% of the words. The important 50% was discarded.
For me I want to know how much frame latency there is since I'm suspicious and I want to try things to see the effect and I just don't know how to get that information in an OSD like I can with msi afterburner.
If someone knows what can do this in Linux, please reply!
Instead I just stopped all competitive and cooperative gaming. Which is a bit of a shame. Sometimes I'll load up windows to join friends but usually by the time I've updated whatever game I've gotten over it.
Don't get me wrong, hiccups aside I'm very happy which is why I'm in Linux most of the time. But it's not always a wonderful world.
At this point we want antivirus and anticheat out of windows kernel. Microsoft killing access to it will genuinely fix Linux compatibility issues.
It couldn't be more win-win.
Microsoft is trying to test that approach. The company tested restricting kernel access to third party security vendors in the past, with Vista OS in 2006, but had to backtrack the move.
Symantec and McAfee then claimed Microsoft’s decision to shut off access to the kernel amounts to “anti-competitive behavior.”
Without kernel access, this software may struggle to perform in-depth behavioral analyses of processes and applications, to meet its objectives, said Varkey. “Blocking this access can limit the software’s ability to detect and prevent sophisticated attacks.”
They can't be trusted, kick out everyone's access to the kernel. Everyone must use API and that can be interpreted.
This will be able to do cross site (apps) information collection within other sites (apps) in this profile. The way this works is one of many, and complicated so: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/cross-site-tracking-lets-unpack-that/
The idea of profiles is to stop this behaviour and other behaviours through isolation. Along with other practices makes up a privacy-in-depth (layered) approach. It doesn't solve everything.
For example if you are in the same house sharing an internet connection, it is possible to say "at least one outstation in this house (IP) are interested in 'x' and therefore I should target everyone in that house because people who live together are interested in similar things". Even if you isolate, you could still teach a data hoarding company like meta you like something simply by them by necessity needing your IP to communicate.
Some people try to say 'I've got a VPS with a VPN to communicate all traffic through' but that doesn't add any privacy, your exposed VPS with its IP is an IP only for you and still all collected information about you would be able to be thumbprinted to that IP across many services (eg instagram whatsapp and Facebook). A public VPN provider in this case adds a layer of obfuscation since you can change your IP rapidly and it's an IP that's shared with other unrelated users. Which is exactly why many services like reddit are banning access from them under the guise of "oh training data leaks from VPN, and we want to sell it" bs.
Anyway it's a tough world out there to be private. I'm at an age where after 10 years without Facebook and I never had instagram, everyone knows I'm contactable via sms. It's not secure, it's barely private, but I don't really "chat" except at the pub. So that's where they ask me to visit. Lol.
I checked too, it's not a valid public DNS record, so then the question is, does Oktas internal DNS resolve this. Even if it does, how does okta even sit in this? Are they the identity provider for Twitter? Surely even if it's identity, it's got nothing to do with content moderation? So many questions.
Other then legacy and uefi does it have a CSM compatibility support mode? An option to enable usb initialisation before bios? Eg wait for usb initialisation?
Some "boot faster" options kind of reorder boot initialisation to a point where it's not holding the system back.
Though I'm really running out of suggestions.. I can imagine you're pretty frustrated. I know my Dell laptop was a pain to get the right settings to get usb to boot and the stupid 100db beep to silent on boot interruption.
