My Predator Helios from 2018 is working just fine with win10, but I really want to move over to linux.

Probably I will start to have problems but I would like to hear yours opinions.

This Laptop is mostly for gaming.

I tried to use Garuda on Ventoy with a Nvidia 1080 and AMD CPU and it wouldn't even boot. Mint, Debian, Manjaro, Open Suse, and many others, all booted via Ventoy on my Nvidia 1080 but Garuda failed to do so. It waited 30 seconds for the GUI to start and said "well you are on your own, cya." and ditched me to a root console. Not the experience I want from my computer.

@MJBrune @caboclo These things happen and could indicate a faulty iso image on your usb stick...

I did a checksum and it was fine.

@MJBrune Maybe try an older/newer release of the Distro iso?

[-] MJBrune@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Eh, I think the issue is more ventoy rather than the distro or the iso. That said, I was using the latest offered, 230501.

It actually might be ventoy yeah. I had some recent issues with it but things worked fine with other software.
