    Ventoy only installing in MBR mode - EDIT: Solved LMAO

    Yes, i did pay attention to the signature tagline and it sounds good, except i hope your WiFi/BT connections have appropriate Linux support (mine is built around Realtek's 8821 chip)... As i recall, playing POLITE with Win11 was necessary during preparations for Linux while i noticed some extra...

    Ventoy only installing in MBR mode - EDIT: Solved LMAO

    Hello, Although i downloaded these two .ISOs on March 28 both actually refer to Debian "BookWorm" (2023-Sep-22) when i mount them: 'lmde-6-cinnamon-64bit.iso' 'lmde-6-cinnamon-32bit.iso' On a side-note, the manufacturer happens to list your specific model as one featured with a 4-cores...

    Ventoy only installing in MBR mode - EDIT: Solved LMAO

    IMO it might please you to know that 'YUMi-exFAT' is actually built around 'Ventoy', though only a few select .ISOs will manage taking full benefit from it - SO FAR. Anyway, if you happen to like either LMDE 6 Faye, MX 23.3, Sparky 8 or Manjaro 6.9.3 then that may be a lucky pick to consider...

    How To Install Ventoy In Linux Mint The Easy Way For Beginners.

    No love for 'YUMi-exFAT'? It's built around 'Ventoy', by the way... :cool:

    Dell Inspiron 15 3520 as replacement for Insignia NS-P11W7100

    Salutations, This time i'll try to focuss on the qualitative aspects, starting with what's sticking around after an install/reboot from my 'YUMi-exFAT' SSD drive, sorted by order of kernel: Alma 9.4 Seafoam Ocelot (5.14.0-427.18.1el9_4.x86 - has 'dnf' LMDE 6 Faye (6.1.0-21) MX 23.3 (6.1.0-21)...

    Give your thoughts about Linux.

    Linux has a brilliant future awaiting ahead, innaccessible to me so far. Windows? Only past memories often of "features" just as innaccessible...

    Cheap Laptops

    This particular mission proved being a hit-or-miss case for me. From now on Dell is now "Dull" instead: no sparkles, especially for the cost that ain't too cheap. Linux certification was some bad joke at my own expense, pilots will probably reach maturity when it's ready to die on me...

    Issues with starting a Linux install.

    Lemme guess, finding mentions of so-called « certified » Ubuntu flipped the switch that triggers envy? :p I picked the "end-of-life" Inspiron 15 3520 model, euh... To be honnest i'm not so sure what i got exactly 'cause what was on the the purchasing page (before my credit card payment was...

    Solved 23.04 LTS will not boot after install.

    That's not the point. Since you seemed to prefer Ubuntu i though maybe it would help to evaluate 'Linux lite', euh... 7.0 If 'dnf' by CLi is your thing, perhaps 'AlmaLinux', 9.4 with *boot.iso and *minimal.iso variants, etc... Actually i've seen network-ready versions too, but that's no good...

    Anyone switching back to Windows 11 for this awesome "feature"?

    Maybe after it followed a very same route as Edge: the Microsoft browser which they actually compiled for Linux as well... Then only if it's Windows 10 or lower, until i get a reliable replacement for 'MSPaint' that no longer cause this behaviour to ever occur again: Fix once, break many...

    Solved 23.04 LTS will not boot after install.

    3rd column from the left, titled "view" in the english version it seems, then search for info.

    Solved 23.04 LTS will not boot after install.

    No boot media found on reboot spells install failure to me but it doesn't mean there's no way to boot at all. From a live session using 'GParted', does the "gpt" string show up on its left-side panel with the destination drive selected?

    Solved 23.04 LTS will not boot after install.

    There's more in the alphabet soup i could have mentioned, like AHCI indeed, whatever. A pause may seem desirable so you can gain better perspective from seeking additional information, e.g. before making any changes... Puppy has HardInfo too.

    Solved 23.04 LTS will not boot after install.

    The slogan « Fix once, break many » verifies again and again, unable to retain what "works" when finally it does i'm afraid! I too seen Mint succeed with its install (once i patched it, before proceeding with Rufus i think...) then eventually observing it perform self-destruct over an...

    Solved 23.04 LTS will not boot after install.

    1st i'd try to collect information relative to partition & file systems, preferably using HardInfo which is pre-installed in some "LIVE" versions as MX, etc. My previous ia32/x86_64 hybrid bootloader tablet made it difficult to find a match and updates killed my install both in the case of Mint...

    Do I necessarily need rufus or another tool to install an OS iso on a laptop with a usb boot?

    A couple years ago i had a habit of manually "patching" ISOs, incl. Mint' with 'ia32' components so to self-install on my former Atom 32/64 hybrid tablet. It worked at 1st but then auto-updates caused it to self-destroy, eventually... Idem for MX of which 1 release worked out of the box once...

    Dell Inspiron 15 3520 as replacement for Insignia NS-P11W7100

    UPDATE: Once i paid closer attention to Celluloïd i started to realize it was tempting to interpret the numbers just a little further, aided here with colour: [ https:// i.postimg.cc/mgLbKjqd/Dell-Inspiron-15-3520-Non-Live-MX23-3-Emerging-patterns-2024-May-30-950x290.png ] This initial...

    Do I necessarily need rufus or another tool to install an OS iso on a laptop with a usb boot?

    If it doesn't pass the double test of loading from a 'YUMi-exFAT' USB flash unit then survive rebooting after an install (from its "live" RAMDisk) that's just too bad but i've started to feel very selective these days. By chance there's enough to get busy with periodic updates and all... Think...

    Dell Inspiron 15 3520 as replacement for Insignia NS-P11W7100

    There's been a new release of MX recently, so i gave it some fair try exploring many different situations: [ https:// i.postimg.cc/1RWLktKZ/Dell-Inspiron-15-3520-running-permanent-MX23-3-setup-2024-May-30-1080x330.png ] If it weren't for the late transition to pipewire i'd have my favourite...

    Dell Inspiron 15 3520 as replacement for Insignia NS-P11W7100

    Salutations! Earlier this month i needed to "upgrade" my hardware so i got a Dell NoteBook S/T "B92LTW3", the Inspiron 15 3xxx (End-of-Line) series with board 0DVVYG A00 inside, except those details didn't appear until it was in my hands... Anyway i've done my best to decide which Linux breed...
