Just to be clear

1. The mini is running Linux?

2. You want to install Monterey, wiping out Linux?

3. You have the Monterey installer on a USB drive and are trying to boot from it?

You could try to boot into recovery, use its disk utility to partition/format the disk, and then use the Internet to install the latest version of Monterey.

If you wiped the drive when you installed Linux, you can still boot into Internet recovery -- Cmd-Option-R during bootup.

Then use Disk Utility. To format the entire device, select View-->Show All Devices in the menu first.
