Endeavouros or Bazzite..?

This might reach you too late this time, but you might use it for future potential distro hopping.

2 days ago I installed an app called virt-manager, which is a desktop graphical tool for managing virtual machines. It is very easy to install and it really blew me away: you can install any distro you like and it is as if it is a bare metal install.

It detects your wifi, so you can go online, download and install you favorite apps, do system updates, the lot. And you are not limited to just installing 1 distro in virt-manager.

I am using Endeavour OS, and here is an article how to install virt-manager.

Hmm, perhaps have a look at this.
Why I only have manual partitioning available? - #3 by replenish
It is not something I have come across before sorry.

24

from what i understand, for older system: i have to boot from bios and install eOS in there?

25

Not my understanding - when booting the ISO select to boot it in legacy mode is what I got from that.

26

alright, ill restart my system and let you know when i got it

27

alright i got it, i assume its “EFI Shell”?

28

I’m really not too sure, going by the solution in the thread I linked it should be the second option.
At the worst it just won’t work.

29

ill try the third option (eOS_x86_64 Fallback)
also the second option is for nvidia only

From my experience, when you go into the boot menu and you have legacy mode enabled in the BIOS, if the USB flash drive was made correctly to be bootable, you will see two entries, one clearly marked as UEFI in the name of the entry.

Yer like I said worst it will do is not boot. If you are still having trouble after this I suggest you make a new thread about the issue to make it a bit more visible to others so you can get some more help.

It’s been ages since I’ve installed on real hardware well over a year and half now.

Questions
Do you have Secure boot off in the bios?
Is CSM disabled in Bios (Non legacy)

34

the worst did not come!
thankfully it actually booted and shows more options!
