Installed Linux G4OS onto an external SSD using the Windows Installer method. First experience of Linux so wanted to eliminate user incompetence.- Apparently this is unique to G4OS.

So after 4 attempts I got it sorted (I encountered a rare issue according to G4OS forum. Could only find a couple of mentions of it)

Not a frickin word did I understand re the solution. I fixed it by doing a disk cleanup and new download etc and actually plugged laptop into router as per the instructions I only half read.

Funny thing is the error message still flashes up initially and then she boots??

Result- Bloody brilliant. Got a lot to setup still but its fun, kind of, working it out. Comes with XP environment option and can have a mac style space if wanted, with everything in-between. Ttf or open type font supported. Gimp, Inkscape etc way quicker, way quicker all round in fact. Hugely exceeds expectations

Negs? Although it's great when in fully, the Boot hieroglyphs at the start are scarey and always a fingers crossed moment. I expect as I get more familiar it will subside.

Personally I got used to a really stripped Windows setup to make the most of my aging machine. Now I feel like wow... what a step up, and all for the price of an SSD.

Fully converted and props to G4OS

I wonder if there's a lesson here for Nostr re onboarding?
