[harsh thistle]

yes one second

[proper citrus]

your pc is probably uefi

[harsh thistle]

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060

[proper citrus]

alright

[harsh thistle]

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-14700F

[proper citrus]

hmm

nice pc , so u flashed the usb ?

[harsh thistle]

gpu is dual series btw

im going to do it rn

[proper citrus]

5060 is what matters

[proper citrus]

dont rush steps

[harsh thistle]

uhhhhh

what is that

[proper citrus]

!

[harsh thistle]

and also why does it say amd64

[proper citrus]

dude thats just the architecture xd

[harsh thistle]

so i can boot with my intel

do i click ok

[proper citrus]

yeah , amd64 is just the architecture name

[harsh thistle]

oh nice

if i click okay is it normal?

[proper citrus]

yeah press ok

just make sure the usb stick doesnt get unplugged lol

[harsh thistle]

i accidenly clicked the yellow ball

@proper citrus hello?

[proper citrus]

yeahhh

[proper citrus]

let me see

@harsh thistle close the window that popped up and you should be fine

[harsh thistle]

it says ready

[proper citrus]

oh , then its done i guess

[harsh thistle]

im going to start it

[proper citrus]

alight , can u still chat while it installs ?

[harsh thistle]

i have UEFI but what does it stand for

[harsh thistle]

think so

[proper citrus]

go back to pop os downloda page and read their thing lol

[harsh thistle]

uhhh okay

why is the drive storage 20 gb

also does the drivers install automaticaly?

is secure boot safe and why do i need to disable it i heard that if you disabled it the pc checks if its windows or not

[proper citrus]

dude

[proper citrus]

?????

[proper citrus]

press ok anyways

[harsh thistle]

okay its installing

[jovial aspen]

do be aware that Pop OS may wreck your windows bootloader

[harsh thistle]

wait what

[proper citrus]

i was going to say that

[jovial aspen]

oh yes

[harsh thistle]

will it break my pc?

so i cant dual boot right?

[proper citrus]

nah just windows

[jovial aspen]

so, a) make damn sure windows fast startup is OFF

[harsh thistle]

yes i know

[proper citrus]

yo ucan

[harsh thistle]

what will it break

[jovial aspen]

and b) make damn sure u have a bootable windows 11 ISO on usb, (so u can fix the bootloader/efi partition) if needed, thru a technique

wait, do you plan on dual-drive dualbooting?

if so, unplug the windows drive

[proper citrus]

nah the guy wants to dual boot on a single drive

[proper citrus]

that would be better ngl

@jovial aspen i run windows and debian sid with secure boot disabled 💀

[jovial aspen]

u can dualboot oter distros

ones that use grub as their bootloader

whereas Pop uses something else. systemd boot

[harsh thistle]

okay i no longer need dual boot

im going to using linux

[jovial aspen]

ok then have fun

[proper citrus]

wait what

you wanna remove windows ???

[harsh thistle]

i hate windows

yes

[proper citrus]

dude , keep it ngl
u might need it one day , who knows

[harsh thistle]

oh wait i forgot since i actually need it for some stuff

since my family uses my pc and they might break my linux

[proper citrus]

dude

just disable secure boot ngl

just dont install stupid stuff

[harsh thistle]

will secure boot work on windows?

[jovial aspen]

for a full installation of most Linux distros, 20 gigs is the minimum. leaves little room at all to grow

[harsh thistle]

uhhhh i heard an error sound on rufus but nothing let me check the file

[jovial aspen]

ideally, you want 65 to 100 gigs of hdd to install upon, with room to grow

[harsh thistle]

i use ssd 1tb

the usb isnt there do i un plug it and plug it back?

[proper citrus]

put a good amount in it

[jovial aspen]

yes

[harsh thistle]

on file explorer

[jovial aspen]

replug

[harsh thistle]

uh okay

still not there

i think i messed up

[proper citrus]

😭

[jovial aspen]

run up Disk Management, maximize it

and show pic

[harsh thistle]

you mean devices and printers?

[jovial aspen]

no

press win+r

[harsh thistle]

okay

[proper citrus]

right click the windows logo

[jovial aspen]

do diskmgmt.msc

[harsh thistle]

okay let me show you

[jovial aspen]

or the thing NL said

[jovial aspen]

yeah it's unalloc'd

meaning no filesystem atm

meaning rufus fugged up

[harsh thistle]

oh no

is my usb drive broken?

[proper citrus]

no

[jovial aspen]

use universal usb installer (UUI) from pendrivelinux.com

or ventoy... from ventoy.net

[proper citrus]

rufus failing is crazy ngl 💀

[harsh thistle]

why isnt my usb there

on file explorer

[jovial aspen]

make sure usb fits in a TIGHT PORT

[jovial aspen]

i said why

[jovial aspen]

.

[harsh thistle]

usb 2.0 and i have a port for it and there isnt

[harsh thistle]

what does that even mean bru

[proper citrus]

is it still here ?

[jovial aspen]

. means look at the attached message

[harsh thistle]

yes ik but what does no filesystem atm?

[jovial aspen]

right click the black area in disk management

for the usb

pick 'new simple volume'

[harsh thistle]

yes

[jovial aspen]

use the defaults

[harsh thistle]

uhhh

[jovial aspen]

becuz ur gonna overwrite it anyway with uui or ventoy

[harsh thistle]

so my ram doesnt work on pop os

it doesnt have enough

[proper citrus]

ahhhhhh

[jovial aspen]

how much RAM?

[harsh thistle]

8gb

[proper citrus]

format it @harsh thistle

[harsh thistle]

ddr5

[jovial aspen]

plenty

[harsh thistle]

oh okay

[proper citrus]

he is saying that his usb is seen as "empty" i think

[harsh thistle]

what is that

[jovial aspen]

nah the true sussy issue was that rufus didnt like the bootloader code on the Pop OS iso (it scans it)

[jovial aspen]

press next til done the wizard

[harsh thistle]

yea?

[proper citrus]

what do u see now

[harsh thistle]

.

[proper citrus]

press next

[proper citrus]

next

[proper citrus]

wait

[jovial aspen]

?

u can put any name in the 'volume label' field

otherwise it's fine

[proper citrus]

do you have exFAT ?

[harsh thistle]

whats that'

[jovial aspen]

gonna overwrite it anyway

[proper citrus]

under ntfs

[harsh thistle]

its fat32

[proper citrus]

there is no exFAT ?

[jovial aspen]

dont matter

[harsh thistle]

on file system right?

[jovial aspen]

it'll get changed soon enough

[proper citrus]

yeah

[jovial aspen]

pick either type

[harsh thistle]

yes fat32

[jovial aspen]

it really wont matter

[proper citrus]

do ntfs then

[harsh thistle]

okay

[jovial aspen]

then u'll see the volume as a new device in file manager, with an assigned letter

then go to https://pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/

[harsh thistle]

clicked next

[jovial aspen]

and get that

[harsh thistle]

why the heck is it ai

[jovial aspen]

no the pic is

but the site is legit

[harsh thistle]

okay where do i find the download button

[jovial aspen]

go ahead and google reviews about 'universal usb installer' and that site

[harsh thistle]

this

[jovial aspen]

ya

[proper citrus]

yeah thats the one xd

its just a badly designed ui lmao

[jovial aspen]

it forces u to read the page...

so u get an idea of HOW TO USE IT

[proper citrus]

😭

[jovial aspen]

but it's similar User-interface to Rufus

simpler, even imo

[proper citrus]

what about balena etcher ?

[harsh thistle]

do i install

[jovial aspen]

did u save the exe file?

[harsh thistle]

nah i didnt click install but i did now

[jovial aspen]

and does ur usb appear now in explorer?

[harsh thistle]

saved now

[proper citrus]

hit windows + e

[harsh thistle]

no

[proper citrus]

cool

wait a minute......

[jovial aspen]

did u finish the volume wizard?

[proper citrus]

oh my god

[jovial aspen]

also, UNMOUNT the linux ISO

idk why u went n mounted it

[harsh thistle]

yes i did

[harsh thistle]

i removed the usb

[proper citrus]

isnt that a wsl thing ?

[jovial aspen]

nah u see the penguin thing

[harsh thistle]

unmount?

nah thats just linux terminal

[jovial aspen]

right click penguin in the file explorer devices

and choose 'unmount'

or 'eject'

[jovial aspen]

unless that is in fact WSL

[proper citrus]

dude thats wsl i think 😭

[jovial aspen]

kek ok it says kali, nvm

[harsh thistle]

what is wsl

[proper citrus]

doesnt matter

your usb isnt on there bruh

[harsh thistle]

yes

[proper citrus]

unplug and replug it

[jovial aspen]

replug

[harsh thistle]

repluged

[jovial aspen]

then check disk mgmt

[harsh thistle]

oh my gosh ITS NOT THERE

wait

[jovial aspen]

s-ok dude dont panic

[harsh thistle]

guys

[proper citrus]

what

[harsh thistle]

i think i found the problem

it was fat32

[proper citrus]

this isnt the problem dude ....

[jovial aspen]

is pop os iso bigger than 4 GB?

[harsh thistle]

yes

[proper citrus]

nah

its 3.5gb

[harsh thistle]

no its kb

[jovial aspen]

close rufus please

run up UUI plz

See if it detects usb.

if not, then clean it with diskpart

[harsh thistle]

why does it say on virus total this

[proper citrus]

dude

[jovial aspen]

likely false flags

since all the others show fine

[proper citrus]

virus total is so useless

[harsh thistle]

it scans every anti virus dude

[jovial aspen]

and it's job is to write bootloaders,

so ofc it will flag that as sus

but, if u got it from pendrivelinux, it's fine

plus ur gonna wipe windows

[harsh thistle]

if i tried to run it smart screen will stop me

[jovial aspen]

u mean the user access control?

[proper citrus]

https://etcher.balena.io/

just get this one and flash it

this one shouldnt get flagged by windows

[harsh thistle]

okay i opened balena

[proper citrus]

ok just flash

[harsh thistle]

its not flaged wiht windows and virus total

flash right?

[proper citrus]

yeah

[harsh thistle]

i gotta wait now for it to flash the .iso image

5 percent now

[proper citrus]

do NOT unplug it during the process

[harsh thistle]

yes i know what happens

[jovial aspen]

while u wait,

[harsh thistle]

yes

[jovial aspen]

hit win+r and run msinfo32

[harsh thistle]

then?

[jovial aspen]

check the status of Secure boot

it's in there , near middle

[harsh thistle]

secure boot state is off

[jovial aspen]

k

[proper citrus]

you are good then

[proper citrus]

nice

[harsh thistle]

okay so i just gotta go in bios just to disable fast boot right?

[jovial aspen]

i'd suggest turn fast startup off too to be safe

no it's not in bios

[harsh thistle]

huh

[proper citrus]

yeah disable it

[jovial aspen]

read how i typed it

it's not fast boot

[harsh thistle]

in bios

[jovial aspen]

it's fast startup

[proper citrus]

NO

not bios

[harsh thistle]

oh yes its fast startup

[jovial aspen]

which is a thing in windows

[harsh thistle]

ohhhh i have to go in my thing

[jovial aspen]

open comand prompt as admin

[harsh thistle]

uhhh okay

[jovial aspen]

and do powercfg /a

[harsh thistle]

ran

[jovial aspen]

it'll show it

[harsh thistle]

[proper citrus]

yeah

[jovial aspen]

[jovial aspen]

in the top list

[harsh thistle]

do i powercfg /h off

[proper citrus]

[harsh thistle]

[proper citrus]

[harsh thistle]

[proper citrus]

[jovial aspen]

[proper citrus]

and fast startup disabled

[harsh thistle]

okay its disabled yessirrrr

93 of .iso image flashing

[proper citrus]

did balena finish ?

[harsh thistle]

98

[jovial aspen]

make SURE let it rest at least 30 seconds

before doing anything

after its done

[harsh thistle]

validating rn

30 secs of unplugging it?

[proper citrus]

NOOO

[harsh thistle]

I DIDNT CHILL

[proper citrus]

30 seconds before unplugging it xd

[harsh thistle]

oh mb

[proper citrus]

like when it finishes keep the usb in for a few seconds

[harsh thistle]

just 1 min after its done

60 percent

[proper citrus]

20 or 30 seconds is enough ngl

[harsh thistle]

30 secs is better

[proper citrus]

@harsh thistle how does your usb stick look like ?

[harsh thistle]

uhh let me show you a picture from google

[proper citrus]

alright

[harsh thistle]

brave*

[proper citrus]

same thing

[harsh thistle]

like this

this is the same thing

[proper citrus]

so u restarted and still nothing ?

[harsh thistle]

yea

windows detects it but not in explorer

[proper citrus]

diskpart

list disk

[harsh thistle]

on cmd

[proper citrus]

select disk 1

[harsh thistle]

HOLY CRAP WHY IS IT A WHOLE LIST

[proper citrus]

!!!!!!

show me dude

[harsh thistle]

is that normal

[proper citrus]

let me see

[harsh thistle]

i did show you dude

[proper citrus]

ok

[proper citrus]

dude

[harsh thistle]

?

[proper citrus]

list disk not listdisk

[harsh thistle]

oh mb

[proper citrus]

screenshot

[proper citrus]

select disk 1

[harsh thistle]

disk 1 is now selected

[proper citrus]

attributes disk clear readonly

[harsh thistle]

all that to type

[proper citrus]

type this letter for letter

[harsh thistle]

you mean randomly

[proper citrus]

NOOOOOO

[harsh thistle]

oh mb

[proper citrus]

attributes disk clear readonly

[harsh thistle]

i didnt type chill

[proper citrus]

exactly , as this , 100%

[proper citrus]

now write "clean"

[harsh thistle]

succed in cleaning the disk

[proper citrus]

so basically you had "write protection" flag blocking you from writing the isos the disk

[harsh thistle]

whats wrtie protection?

write

[proper citrus]

for example if you have a flashdrive
the software doesnt allow writing to be done on the flashdrive

hence the failure of writing the iso on it

[harsh thistle]

on what?

[proper citrus]

on the flashdisk lol

[harsh thistle]

oh so whats the reason

[proper citrus]

the problem isnt rufus or balena etcher

[proper citrus]

yep

[harsh thistle]

so it could be the .iso image right?

i mean theres a high percent it isnt

[proper citrus]

nope , it was windows blocking you

[harsh thistle]

i fucking knew it

they didnt want me to put linux on my pc right

[proper citrus]

no

[harsh thistle]

huh what

[proper citrus]

u cant write anything , not just linux

now you can

[harsh thistle]

so i can install pop os now?

[proper citrus]

yeah open balena

[harsh thistle]

yes

[proper citrus]

flash it to the usb

[harsh thistle]

but i did?

[proper citrus]

do it again

[harsh thistle]

you sure

[proper citrus]

yeah but protection was enabled and it didnt lol

[harsh thistle]

and i have to let it chill for 30 secs after the installation?

[proper citrus]

but now we removed the write protection so now

balena etcher should succesfully be allowed to wite the iso

[harsh thistle]

so no waiting 30 secs right?

[proper citrus]

wait like 15 to 20 seconds after it finishes

[harsh thistle]

20 secs because 15 might be not

4m

until its done

[proper citrus]

yeah dude , thats usb 2 , its slow as hell

dont you have usb 3 ?

[harsh thistle]

drive 2

i have only 1

[proper citrus]

is it used ?

[proper citrus]

oh yeah ur damn right

no matter the port , it will always see it as usb 2.0

[harsh thistle]

only my sister wanted to put smth it was only a folder since she needed more space on her phone but the folder has nothing

60 percent lef

[proper citrus]

okay

@harsh thistle
