No matter what I do when it comes to booting into live desktop or by selecting Install Ubuntu from the boot menu and whether if downloading updates/third party software is checked or unchecked, I cannot get past the Preparing to install screen.

I flashed my USB drive through "dd" while in Arch Linux, as I want to try something different by going with Unity from GNOME 3.20, which I am currently using right now, so yeah, I plan to distro-hop.
Here's my hardware information in case you need it:
