Set up your Linux distribution following the official guidelines.
Set up your Linux distribution following the official guidelines.
I decided to remove my original setup and moved to Kali Linux because of its usefulness for ethical hacking and penetration testing. But after finishing the installation, I had to restart, which brought me back to BIOS and erased the setup.
Linux typically doesn't show up in the boot menu like Windows does. On my experience, I set it up on a laptop and when I was restarted, the boot choice didn't display "Garuda Linux" but instead showed the name of the SSD where it was installed. On older systems, the option might be even more basic, such as "Internal HDD."
When you restart from the installation media again, should you notice the installation process on the drive? You’ll likely see the files copied if you mount the drive. A potential issue to watch for is choosing the SSD during bootloader installation and ensuring it isn’t set to the USB stick by default.
I noticed the setup on the drive. What I encountered was changing the Linux distribution to Manjaro because it better matched my gaming preferences. However, in the advanced settings it indicated Kali was installed and that I could boot into it, but the BIOS didn’t support it. My thought is to switch Manjaro to a live USB and format the drive instead.
While setting up Manjaro Linux, I observed the loading screen took a while. Checking the kernel logs revealed a start job for the Livemedia MHWD script: manjaro linux(3min / no limit).
Kali should not run on basic hardware. Consider using a more suitable distribution such as Ubuntu.
You're setting up your drive for gaming with Manjaro, but encountering an issue during the installation of Boost.Python in the "unpackfs" step. This often happens if there are compatibility problems or missing dependencies. Try checking the latest Boost.Python version for Manjaro, ensuring it matches your system architecture, and verify that all required packages are installed before proceeding. If the problem persists, consider using a virtual environment or reinstalling the package.
