Linux USB installation media - Issues

Hi all,

I'm currently running Windows 11, and I want to dual boot it with Linux (Manjaro, Fedora, Ubuntu, ...)
I only had success with Ubuntu, all the other fails for a reason I don't understand.
I'm using a USB drive, and I made it bootable using both Rufus & Etcher on Windows.

My BIOS / UEFI, does recognizes this drive and I can boot from it, but then the issues begin:

- Ubuntu boots fine, and I'm able to install it.
- Fedora results in a black screen.
- Manjaro boots, and I can choose how to start it (Open Source vs. Proprietary drivers), but once the installer is launched, inside a KDE shell, the keyboard and mouse stops working (plugging them out and in again doesn't work, and they are attached directly to the ports on the motherboard).

Besides that, I do have a monitor with a couple of input ports (HDMI, DVI, ...) and it's channel selection is set to 'Auto'.
When a Linux installer boots, the monitor receives 'NO SIGNAL' and thus goes to stand by.
I need to change it manually to the correct port in order to get the correct output.
Please note that the monitor's channel selection is set to 'Auto'.

I have updated my BIOS to the latest version and I tried different combinations in the bios 'Fast Boot / Without Fast Boot - Secure Boot / NO Secure Boot), and it just doesn't seem that it's working.

Any ideas? It's driving my crazy.

My hardware:
