linux not installing
You're facing installation issues while trying to switch from Windows to Linux. It sounds like the setup process is encountering problems with Rufus or the USB boot configuration. Consider checking the USB connection, ensuring the correct USB port is selected, and verifying that Secure Boot is properly disabled if needed. Also, try using a different USB drive or testing with another computer to rule out hardware issues.
My specifications are standard, and I have not disabled Secure Boot.
HP Stream Notebook 14-cb109ca with English/Chinese keyboard. Intel Celeron @1.2GHz, 4GB RAM, 32GB eMMC storage. Device name: DESKTOP-HBP2STV. Processor: Intel® Celeron® N4000 @1.10GHz. Installed RAM: 8.00 GB (7.82 GB free). Upgraded. Operating system: 64-bit, x64 architecture. No pen or touch input supported; secure boot disabled per Lubuntu instructions.
Consider the age and components of the Celeron N4000. You should have most support available, but you may face challenges if the system becomes unstable. Try installing live CDs or DVDs from Debian, SuSE, and Fedora. Also check Puppy Linux or Knoppix for compatibility testing. During startup, different options may appear, such as "nofb." Experiment with those if needed. If issues persist, consider selling the device and purchasing a refurbished Lenovo or testing a new USB drive.
