Help with Ubuntu

So I tried to install ubuntu through UNetbootin, I installed Ubuntu Desktop through the official website then went in Unetbootin selected hard disk and in the ... section I put the Ubuntu download. I rebooted and get the option between windows 11 or UNetbootin which is normal but when I click Unetbootin I get this message. What am I supposed to do?(Note: When I select windows 11 it is normal)

Looking at unetbootin's github page it is largely outdated and has not received active updates since 2021, also, their issue page is full of bugs, many people saying the same problems that they're also unable to boot in. So I'm 100% positive that it's a unetbootin issue.

Canonical doesn't even mention Unetbootin anywhere to install Ubuntu with. From Windows they recommend Rufus:

Retry with Ubuntu's official documentation:
