Hi everyone,
I'm currently looking for some help regarding the installation of Linux. I have a gaming PC with the following drives:
My process (Ubuntu):
I've tried multiple distros from Manjaro to Fedora but I can't get any of them to work. With Manjaro, the installlation stops half way through and gives me an error for /usr/bin/chroot.
If anyone is able to help me, it would mean a lot!
Thanks.
I'm currently looking for some help regarding the installation of Linux. I have a gaming PC with the following drives:
- An M.2 drive (running Windows 11)
- A SSD (for holding games and other programs)
- An external HDD (for holding programs and documents)
My process (Ubuntu):
- Use Windows to download a Ubuntu.
- Use SD Card Formatter on USB thumb drive 1 (ready for Rufus to write the ISO).
- Use SD Card Formatter on USB thumb drive 2 (just to clear the drive of anything).
- Use Rufus to write the ISO to drive 1 and create a bootable drive.
- Restart the machine, enter BIOS and change boot order (move Windows to the last choice) so the bootable drive can start.
- Insert my 2nd USB thumb drive.
- Ubuntu starts, I then click on "Try Ubuntu".
- On the Ubuntu desktop, I then click on "Install Ubuntu".
- The installation then starts, I then choose my keyboard layout, where I'm from, normal installation with third party sortware.
- On the section where I choose my drive, I select the USB thumb drive 2 and manual partitions.
- I click on "free space" under my drive, create my first partition: 300mb | Primary | Beginning of this space | EFI system partition.
- I create my second partition: the rest of the space | Primary | Beginning of this space | Ext4 journaling file system | mount point: /
- Select the 2nd thumb drive as a bootloader.
- I then create my user and install Ubuntu.
- Once the installation has finished, I remove the 1st USB thumb drive (installation medium) and press enter.
- The machine restarts but starts Windows even though it's the last choice on the boot order.
I've tried multiple distros from Manjaro to Fedora but I can't get any of them to work. With Manjaro, the installlation stops half way through and gives me an error for /usr/bin/chroot.
