I can, at times, provide both sides of a conversation as well. The absent member of the dialogue never fares well.

Phew, thanks for all the offers of help / advice etc. Really appreciated. I have done everything suggested on here in the bios and nothing has worked.

I'm using my Samsung 980 for OS installation.

I don't have vga on my cpu hence the kf at the end of the name.

I can only change the boot order to usb if the usb is actually plugged in or it reverts back to the os drive which isn't an issue, but yes I have let the linux reboot the pc and it just loops to the same message.

All confusing.

Thanks for responding, @belvederr69

I'll ask a couple of questions, for clarity, and then my friends here will likely pick up the ball and run with it,

1. Is the Samsung the computer you referenced in your first post?
2. "I made a 50GB partition before hand." Was that formatted as EXT4?
3. "Manjaro Cinnamon, Pop and Casy nothing happened at all." Was that last CachyOS?
4. Do you remember which one you tried first?
5. Did you reformat the partition between Distro attempts, to remove traces of the previous attempts?

I may have more questions, but I'll follow this thread with interest, and ask more, as my time allows, if I think it may help.

Your rig's specs would indicate you should have no trouble running Linux. If you can answer those questions, numbered, that will help our Helpers.

We are spread around the planet, so allow for timezones.

You are in good hands, and we have your back.
