I setup a USB boot for my prior Dell xps13 with an intel i5 processor., not issues.
this system i am unable to get booted using Linux Mint or "Unbuntu (using an ARM ISO) from USB. I have tried Ventoy and YUMI to create to bootable usb sticki press f12, successfully presented with the boot menu and see my ssd with the linux boot option, select it, but it fails to boot, just booting to an intifs> prompt.
If anyone has been sucessfull at either dual booting this model of Dell XPS 13 with usb

First welcome to the forum!!!
I also have a Dell XPS 15, that is unsupported for W11, but is running W11P just fine, it also is running the i5 two core cpu, but mine has no UEFI bios.
AS for you, I am pretty sure you will have to disable bitlocker encrytion and secure boot, before Mint or any Linux will run.
Hello and Thank you so much for the reply. I will give that a try, I was suporised that a Live USB iso would not boot even with secureboot disabled. Ill keep tryig (i have 12 more days to test before i would need to return it to get an i7 version.) Ill update here if anything works.
(I also just tried virtual box, but it also fails to install, seems its also an architecture incompatibility)
Can you take a picture of your bios screen ?
Its possible a setting in that needs to change
I had a similar problem last week a setting i had not thought of
