Trying to install Linux onto a device that is too stupid to recognize it's USB port from a home in the ground. Has no disk drive, no ethernet port. Im running out of patience and might end up using it as shooting range target practice.

Lenovo mini book 4gb ram. It's pretty terrible, i thought a lightweight linux os would be its only option, but even that seems to be impossible.

Is it 32 or 64 bit?

I'm attempting on a usb i had specifically for tails out of desperation and flashing a light weight distro on it

So you go to boot menu, do you see the USB device there? If so, there are a few things that could be going on, go in your bios and toggle UEFI/legacy (whatever it was, change it) and see if it works. If that doesn't work try making the USB drive again possibly with a different one.

Also make sure you turn off windows secure boot in your bios.

If the device simply doesn't show you can try making it again on a different drive and plugging into a different slot.
