I tried to get Nobara working on my pc and couldn’t do it. I have installed soany forms of Debian/ubuntu and arch. I did get bazzite working, but I didn’t like how locked down that os is.

I run two different RPM distro machines. Took me less than forty minutes to install on each (my internet is slow), and one of them is an eight-year-old laptop with an i3 and 8 gigs of memory. All runs fine, had issues with the Bluetooth antenna on one. I had to help a family member set up a W11 laptop, took hours (pre-installed) to sift through all the bullshit settings to make it even function without disrupting every session or literally spying on them. So, I dunno, maybe you pissed off some witch and got cursed, seems like a pretty exceptional experience you had.

I spent every other evening for a week trying to install fedora. Skill issue.

Personally have had more issues with the windows installer than any Linux installer I’ve ever used (on multiple different systems)

Same. Ubuntu didn’t run on my tower only Debian did and then I removed the entire OS and downloaded windows 10 from Microsoft and googled up a product key. Sometimes you can’t escape the dog shit.

There are issues with that of course, but for my fedora, Pidoras tools helped identify and fix the compatibility issue

I don’t know what you mean by “Nothing” but, I have often failed to have any luck with the automatic partitioning, and I end up doing the partitioning manually. Especially since I almost always separate / and /home onto different physical drives. And doing that, you have to lay out a /boot/efi partition. Without doing that it’ll go through the motions but you won’t get a bootable system.

What was your problem? I really cannot understand, it should be as easy as downloading the ISO, plugging the flashdrive and then tell to a software like rufus to flash the ISO to the pen drive, you then go in the bootloader, change the boot priority to pen drives and then reboot the PC and should start the installation (or if the distro has the “live enviroment” you can first try out the distro without installing and then install when you feel ready)
