Can I install on a Surface?

[hybrid sand]

I want to test Omarchy for a while on a Surface Pro 7.

The thing is, I don't really want to remove Windows from it, because I'm not sure I can reinstall it and keep the license in case I find out Omarchy is not for me.

I'm kinda new to Linux, so I need to know: can I install Omarych on a MicroSD or a pendrive to test on my Surface? If not, can I remove Windows from it but recover later on, in case I give up?

Thank you!!

I'll try booting it

One question, if I install Omarchy in the whole drive (wiping Windows from it), is it possible to reinstall Windows later on?

I'm not afraid of wiping it up, I'm just not used to OS management, so I literally don't know if that's possible

Yes you can even make a dual boot if you shrink your partition :)

create a windows usb drive beforehand so you can reinstall windows if you don't like omarchy for whatever reason

So, my SSD is not that big, I tried installing Omarchy using its ISO in the whole drive. But I got this error:

**
ERROR:../polkit/src/programs/pkttyagent.c:201:main: assertion failed: (polkit_unix_process_get_pid (POLKIT_UNIX_PROCESS (subject)) == pid_of_called)
Bail out! ERROR:../polit/src/programs/pkttyagent.c:201:main: assertion failed: (polkit_unix_process_get_pid (POLKIT_UNIX_PROCESS (subject)) == pid_of_called)

This happened after the installation process. It appeared "Omarchy", and asked me to remove the USB installer. As soon as I pressed "reboot", this error showed up.

Any idea what is this or how to solve it?

tha'ts not something you need to fix, just reboot, and boot into the installed Omarchy system

That worked, the system booted!!
