From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Cannot Install openSUSE or any other Distro (lemmy.world)

Howdy everyone!

Looking for some help, I am trying to install openSUSE tumbleweed, the issue is I get stuck at the boot screen, the one that says loading kernel... loading initial ramdisk...

The issue is I am not quite sure what to do to troubleshoot this, any advice would be appreciated. This also happens with every distro I try to install, I've tried Arch, Nix, openSUSE and Fedora.

Try different bootloader entries, there should be something like failsafe mode.

So I did try that, I went and installed with grub 2 inside ventoy, the installer works but I can't boot my installed system now.
