You're telling me I can get an obscure distro like void to boot but you can't is tall the most mainstream Linux distro? I've been using Windows my whole life and only started using Linux recently and it's mostly simple.

you may skip the burning part, thats something you shouldn't do. burnt USB doesn't boot well.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

yo user I've had a similar problem. What SSD type is it? It might be an AHCI vs RAID sort of deal.
every distro i've installed took less than 15 minutes lul as for the rest of your post, stop being stupid just give up nigger, and stop shitting up the board while you're at it too
what ? i've run the debian installer on at least 15 different computers and everything worked out of the box on the DE's listed in the installer stop spreading FUD, it's not 1996 anymore
I am in the same position. Windows 10 on my computer occasionally gives me BSOD and the occasional headache (a few times throughout the year). I just installed Ubuntu and have been using it for the past week. First my USB headset wasn't recognized and in this one week that I've been using it I have had to reconfigure it 3 times, and get under my desk to connect the headset to a different USB port. My $150 mechanical keyboard spazs out, and it types random shit on my computer so I am having to use a $5 membrane keyboard.
Otherwise it is pretty nice but my boot times are shit. It goes from the motherboard logo to a black screen, then the GRUB menu, and then to a black screen, then purple and during this time it might flash and distort the Ubuntu logo. Finally it logs me in.
>nu/g/ can't even install the most normie distro made for literal retards
Congratulations

If you can't solve this problem by yourself you might as well not be on Jow Forums.
Jose Peterson
imagine being such a retard you can't even click "automatic partitioning" and next 3 times this, why are you here faggot OP, a technology board is for the technology literate
Oliver Gray
>every distro i've installed took less than 15 minutes lul This desu. Gentoo took about a day the first time but that's an exception.
Matthew Sullivan
Give me some credit you fucking ni/g/gers, I'm back in Windows using disk part to format it to NTFS. I'm pretty sure it got corrupted and had no usable partitions.
Juan Clark
There's 4 fucking partitions right in that photo you absolute Mongoloid
Gavin Williams
>iToddler can't even figure out Ubuntu and false flags as a Windows user iToddlers BTFO
If you're going to use insults you should be aware of the fact that those partitions are of drives that are not the drive I am installing the OS onto.
Landon Gutierrez
nvm i figured it out
Ayden Wilson
I refuse to believe anyone on this board can be this fucking stupid. Fuck off back to /v/.
Matthew White
then why the fuck did you select that disk and take that picture you abortion of a horsefucker

Alright faggit I admit it I didn't really know what I was doing. Fuck off anyway.
Wyatt Robinson
Then fuck off back to /v/ and ask your mommy to buy you an iPad, you're too retarded to handle anything else. Jow Forums is not your personal fucking tech support.
Brandon Wright

I will not fuck off. And I didn't ask for tech support you fat crusty faggot, I simply came here to shit on Linux v windows.

You fucked something up.

Quit imitating me asshole. I said I figured it out.

What op is telling you is: 1) Fishing is easy. 2) Hardware support as compared to windows is still massively lacking in linux distributions, and varies massively depending on distribution and distribution build. Simply put, the "just works" "user friendly" "most supported" linux distribution called Ubuntu is a buggy unreliable cluster of bloated autism and spyware. It's also ugly, comes with subpar (aka shit) software, and its theoretically gay. Theoretically because its a virgin like you.
OP again, I actually got the operating system installed, but I can't get online because the system doesn't recognize my USB wifi dongle. What a fucking joke, do people actually think this is an alternative to Windows or OSX?
Brody Butler
yes but those people are neets. take my advice friend and just back to windows. I mean you use a computer to DO things. why else would you have one?
Justin Sanchez

Mason Rivera
So when Ubuntu offered to do automatic partitioning for you, even though you know you are a dumbass who doesn't know how to do the most basic shit, you decided to do manual partitioning and come here to complain about it
It offered to partition and fuck up the drives that I didn't want Ubuntu on. I'm not a power user though, I will admit. It's just not worth the hassle.
Jace Harris
Good, stay gone you insufferable fucking mongoloid. You utter fucking inbred buffoon. The quicker you fucking give up and leave the better.
Good, don't need scum like you using it, or loving the CoC
Grayson Williams
do brainlets actually post on Jow Forumsnu linux?
Logan Morris
Use rufus to create bootable USB, like anybody else. Nigga, you literally just have to create a swap partition and a ext4 partition and assign "/" to it. Are you even trying? Read a guide ffs, you're embarrassing yourself.

coming from someone who uses a macbook air for school, the illusion only lasts as long as you dont do anything but light web browsing. 1200$ for 1.6 ghz dual core and integrated graphics lol no thanks.
You know GNU/Linux is bad when an intelligent individual like OP can't get ubuntu to run. May as well face it, guys.

Fixing old laptop since yesterday > Windows is fucked up so backup, format and reinstall > Spend 1 hour searching and installing drivers > Spend 2 hours installing basic programs > Spend 36 hours updating OS and office suite > Windows uses 1.2gb of ram on startup > Windows update prevents laptop from doing anything anytime updates are available. > Literally anything runs like shit and opening any program fills up RAM > Install Xubuntu in 30 mins (including creating bootable pen drive) > Update in 5 minutes > All basic programs installed out of the box > Spend 10 minutes setting up a toolbar and auto-mounting NTFS partition > Xubuntu boots way faster and feels more responsible despite of ext4 partition being at the end of the drive.
