Help install linux

Good day everyone.

I am new to Linux, was about to switch from windows to linux(specefically garuda gaming edition). I faced a problem which is the "failed to mount dev/loop0", I have no idea what that is. I redownloaded the iso file, and flashes it to my usb multiple times, I even tried to use the "garuda downloader" application, but it doesn't work in my case.

My laptop is Acer Aspire e5-471g
Intel i5 4210u
Geforce 840m

Lmk if i missed out some information

check in your bios that you have fastboot and secure boot disable in your bios then try again

Use other USB, if possible and try out ventoy.net, it never failed for me.

Thank you for everyone's reply. After some poking around and doing the suggestions, I've realized that it was my usb at fault. Thank you everyone have a nice day.
