Hello I wanted to switch to Linux, but the only distro so far I could even boot from a live USB was Ubuntu. I've tried Xubuntu, Manjaro, Linux Mint, and Elementary OS and none could boot, thought when I tried booting them on my old laptop , everything went fine. The laptop I'm using is a Lenovo Y500 and yeah I tried disabling secure boot but nothing worked. So is there a way to fix this or do I have to use Ubuntu?
Can't boot any Linux except Ubuntu

I found this AU Q&A: Unable to install Ubuntu on Lenovo Y500. There are some suggestions you could try from this thread.I also found these things to try. I do not know how relevant they are, but might be worth trying: linlap.com/lenovo_ideapad_y500.This AU Q&A also looks related: Lenovo Y500 Dual Booting Ubuntu and Windows 8: Stuck on Purple Screen.
