Today I tried to switch to Linux cause I got tired of Windows. Yesterday I looked up on newbie friendly distributions, mint and endeavour had my eye. I said why not try out endeavour first on Virtual box and it went smoothly, I loved it.
I have NO experience with switching stuff. So I did everything the tutorial by Tech of Many Things said, I downloaded the ISO, flashed it and booted it. After the installation was done and everything was cleared I said restart. The tutorial said it’ll be alright to remove the USB now but it’s optional (if I didn’t get it wrong) and so I did. But my pc got stuck on an error loop. (I choose the grub option if that matters?) I panicked and closed my pc and well now my pc is stuck on a black screen there’s no opening screen too. I can’t open boot menu or anything. I don’t remember what the error was cause I tend to forget things when I’m panicking.
And I didn’t copy my system stuff at all. All I know is that I’m using a Fujitsu Lifebook as a PC that has 8GB ram and 250~ish? GB space…
I’d love some help before I panic even more because I do not want my only PC to be broken. My first language isn’t English so I do get confused sometimes.
Hello @SeaShellsByTheSea and welcome to the forum,
With live usb select the 4th icon Konsole. Show us the output of lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT
If you want to install alongside then maybe the EFI partition is too small 2GB is needed. The Partition table should be GPT. It is possible to convert in windows
but the safest way to use a separate disk . gparted
is a disk partition utility but it is dangerous to use it without making a backup.
The thing is, I do not have any other device that can use USB. So I can’t do that. And I’m sure that I’ve erased windows by finishing the installation too soo… yeah :’)
I’m starting to think that it is some graphical issue. I didn’t know that I had NVIDIA graphics and did the basic download.
Its been hours and it’s still on black screen, I can’t access to boot menu nor use any other thing.
