What happened?

Can't manage to boot anything on my machine.
I used 2 laptops and I'll refer to them like this:

• Huawei:
  • Huawei Matebook D14 2020 IIRC
  • AMD Ryzen 5 3500U
  • No discrete GPU
  • Seemingly only UEFI support, couldn't find any Legacy switch in BIOS
  • Secure boot always disabled
• Alienware:
  • Alienware 13 R2, can't remember the year
  • Intel Core i7 6500U
  • NVidia GeForce GTX 960M
  • Always boot in Legacy since the Windows install is on MBR but can also boot UEFI
  • Secure boot always disabled

Ok, so I tried with 2 ISOs:

• Latest Deepin live installer (downloaded with torrent link from official website):
  • Huawei:
    • Ventoy was just freshly installed with above version, I hadn't touched the table settings so I'm guessing it set it up as MBR
    • Ventoy boots fine, I select the only ISO on it (Deepin)
    • Things look like they're loading, I then get a glowing Deepin logo as if it was still loading but that never goes anywhere
    • Shrugged it off and burnt the ISO directly onto another USB and it worked flawlessly
    • Didn't end up testing on Alienware
• Latest GParted live environments (from official website):
  • Huawei:
    • Boot up Ventoy
    • Selecting ISO goes fine
    • I get to GParted's GRUB and I can navigate it, I select first default option (also tried a few other settings though, same results as the first try)
    • Stuff looks like it's loading
    • I see this on screen, nothing happens for next 5 minutes
    • Start to notice a pattern
    • Both amd64 and i686 GParted versions give same results
    • Try formatting Ventoy drive and reinstalling with GPT table setting
    • Same results on all versions
  • Alienware:
    • All goes fine
    • GParted loads up fine as it should

My pitch is it's something to do with the AMD processor, but what do i know... please help me figure this out, I really could use this fantastic piece of software!
