Hi I’m trying to install #Batocera to the Laptop SSD (Dell Latitude 5491). I disabled secure boot and set it to ACHI (or something like that). I can live boot from the USB drive but the installer only works with Ethernet (5GHz internet connection) and gets stuck at 0%. Since when does a linux distro need a network connection to install itself on the system?

Since never. This is specific to Batocera. In the link provided in the comment by @Feyd@programming.dev it says:
Batocera does not install itself by copying system files over from the USB/SD card like other live distros might. It has to download, extract and install the image as a whole.
You haven’t booted an installer. Sounds like you’re going this route. https://wiki.batocera.org/install_batocera#install_batocera_from_batocera
