I have a new PC - Windows 10 dual boot with POP_OS!. Sadly I was not
enamoured with PopOS and its offering so having used a mac for years for
Web Development (Ruby) I decided to make a switch to Linux (not having
used it for some 5-10 years).
I downloaded the 20.04 Fossa image, flashed a USB drive (that had been
previously used for Pop_OS!), and went into machine bios to start the
installation process.
Sadly I get this error [0.313120] Initramfs unpacking failed: Decoding
failed.
I have zero ideas as to how to follow the instructions on here about
fixing the image when I am on a totally different OS, and this is meant
to be a clean install.
I don't even get to the live CD options to try this.
Have I done something wrong in downloading this?
I can see there are some bugs registered for this, but it seems no fix
yet in the iso images that are downloaded.
I'm reasonably technical, so happy to try things.
I don't really want to go through the pain of an upgrade by installing
an older version of Ubuntu or Mint. Nor do I really want to move to
Fedora.
I did try all of these out in VM's before deciding to go with Ubuntu,
following my not so great experience with Pop_OS!
Any help as to how to fix during install from USB-Stick booted is
appreciated
Thanks

Bug description:
OS : Ubuntu 20.04(20200401)
Problem: "initramfs unpacking failed: Decoding failed", message
appears on boot up
solution:
If we edit /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf and COMPRESS=lz4, to
COMPRESS=gzip
then the error is fixing .
Expected solution:
This but in there from a long time I have seen this from
Ubuntu 18.04,19.04,19.10
now in 20.04 So please fix it or change it from lz4 to gzip.
an early reply is highly appreciated
Thank you .
