SKIP AHEAD FOR PROBLEM
As im sure you know pewdiepie has recently talked about linux, I have always been on the edge but didnt want to miss out on the programs that still havent added compatability. However, I want to help out with that by becoming part of the linux community, im doing this on my laptop and because I have ADHD and love to dive straight into the depths of things that interest me I am starting here.

Currently I have got arch linux on a flash drive however for some reason when I select to launch via the flash drive It still launches to windows. I have also made sure that arch is above windows on boot.

in the cfdisk only my usb storage appears

dusky flume
#

oh

#

that's strange

#

what did you use to create the arch USB?

ornate walrus
#

if i do lsblk it shows everything

dusky flume
#

in that lsblk list, does it say /dev/nvme0n1

#

you need to specify the disk that you want to partition

ornate walrus
#

ah ok yh got it now

#

ok now im confused im just following their layout for GPT but how do i define my partition as currently its just being attached to the nvme

um i am suddenly stuck on a list of locations

#

i dont know what happened

#

i probably just hit tab and enter somehow

#

if i scroll to the bottom it just says lines 533-598/598 (END)

#

and escape and backspace both are not getting me off it

#

ornate walrus
#

ok im in but its saying my login is incorrect

#
