Why is linux so difficult to install?

Linux isn't difficult to install, you're just dumb.

Remove you GPU and use integrated for the time being.

>>62444554
Looks like your GPU is causing a ruckus.
Interestingly, you left that out of the OP.

I wonder if that was on purpose.

>>62444585
>Looks like your GPU is causing a ruckus.
Thanks, I forgot to add it:
>4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970.
How do I solve this?

Try to install the Nvidia driver and see if it works.

>>62444582
>Remove you GPU and use integrated for the time being.
I want to use Ubuntu in in dual boot with Windows.
That would not be practical.

>>62444631
>Try to install the Nvidia driver and see if it works.
You mean update?
I'm on Windows now and the card works well.

>>62444608
>970
>4095 MB
You fucking wish kek

>>62444650
No, I mean install it on Ubuntu. Your picture shows that the Nouveau driver fails to start.

>>62444608
boot with nomodeset, then after install replace nouveau with the proprietary nvidia drivers.

This is an nVidia bug.

>>62444554
Boot with nomodeset option, install the nvidia proprietary driver.

>>62444632
Nigger just install ubuntu with your integrated graphics and then fix your driver issue from there. How are you supposed to install nvidia drivers if you cant even install the OS

>>62444676
I used Rufus
https://rufus.akeo.ie/
to create a bootable USB flash drive.
When I restart my computer to boot from the USB, this is what the screen shows.
Ubuntu is not installed.

>>62444692
This is good advice, dumbass. Remove going, boot and install Ubuntu, go into your newly installed Ubuntu and get the nouveau drivers, restart with you plugged in.

>>62444713
Use something else to create a bootable USB. Nothing strange with you GPU... But just make sure you have proprietary drivers (I believe you will have a easier time installing Linux Mint)

>>62444713
Was there an option menu before it happens?

How did you download the .iso? There is a possibility it's corrupted.

>>62444554
Depends on many factors
Either weird hardware combinations, unknown parts or sometimes bad luck.
This isn't exclusive to Linux of course, but especially given the little financial backing it's difficult to at least somewhat damage control a normal installation process for billions of hardware combinations

Once they don't have to deal with stuff like this anymore, it turns out way better. For example Raspbian installs flawlessly

>>62444582
couldnt you just plug the video cable into the integrated port instead of the card?

I would just install a distro without Xorg if I got such problem.

>>62444703
>boot with nomodeset
>>62444706
>Boot with nomodeset option
How?
>>62444712
I will do this if I can't find any other solution.
>>62444770
>Use something else to create a bootable USB.
What should I use?
>>62444771
>Was there an option menu before it happens?
I will check this.
>How did you download the .iso? There is a possibility it's corrupted.
From Ubuntu website.

No point in using Linux if you are going to install the proprietary drivers. I suggest going back to Windows.

>>62444917
Preach.

>>62444908
I really doubt the iso is corrupt. File corruption is such a rarity today that I'd only suspect it as a last resort. However, since it takes like 5 seconds to verify, it's better to rule out first

>>62444908
>How to boot with nomodeset
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132

Linux is not difficult to install on most hardware but Nvidia's graphics hardware can be. Nvidia is notorious for not supporting open source projects. They do not provide developers or even any documentation to help the kernel project support their hardware. The only open source driver is nouveau which works somewhat on older cards but on newer ones it can be completely broken.

In order to use Nvidia graphics you have to install the proprietary drivers from Nvidia themselves.

In the future consider using AMD for Linux support, or just use Intel's integrated graphics

>>62444554
It's your GPU.

When you select your boot options, press tab and edit the command line. At the end put

nomodeset

Should boot up after that

>rufus
That's a bad idea. Rufus is only useful for making a single Windows USB. UNetBootin works better for Linux distros and multibooting. I always had issues with rufus for no apparent reason.

>>62445222
I have Win7 debotnetted and use ext4 on all Linux partitions... Win7 only has access to the gayms partition.

>>62445241
I installed like 10 different distros and everything worked with rufus.

>>62444554
>using NoVidya on Linux
Buy AMD, at least their drivers work.

>>62444917

>>62444554
I once had a problem with rufus (about a couple of releases ago)
it had something to do with the syslinux version of it. I used an older version and was able to boot from the USB. also tried the
may or may not apply to you

I've had more consisten results using universal USB installer

False sense of security is more dangerous than having no security at all

>buying nvidia

>>62445186
well that's not true do, also if the kernel can run from a dedicated gpu from the get go then better, you don't want to install software with 10fps...

>>62445325
Well... its still better than running solo Windows, no?

>>62444968
>>62444976
Thanks, it worked.
Now, which option would be the best if I already have reserved a partition for Ubuntu and want to install it there with Ubuntu taking care of any other partitioning?
>Install Ubuntu alongside them.
>Erase disk and install Ubuntu.
>Something else.
?

>>62445409
Something else, then select the partition you prepared and set it up as ext4. That should do the trick.

>>62445241
I couldn't boot using Unebootin.

If you install Wine you can double click into games on your w7 partition. That's how I play Warcraft and WoW on Linux.

>>62445431
Why do so many people recommend that shit anyways. I've been using Universal USB Installer for years without ever getting a faulty USB stick.

>>62444632
You will end up moving back to Windows anyway after learning that Linux is a waste of time to get working.

>>62445438
>If you install Wine you can double click into games on your w7 partition
WOW, really? Its THAT easy? I never used Wine. Installed Linux just recently.

>>62445426
Which one is the device for boot loader installation, the SSD on which I run Windows or the HDD?

If you're too retarded to install Ubuntu, turn the fuck back now and never look at Linux again.

>>62445481
Wine came preinstalled on Zorin Linux but it should behave the same on every distro. It doesn't work on my laptop for some reason but it works on my PC. Not sure if Wine usually misbehaves on laptops or if there's another issue.

>>62445538
The issue is that you're fucking retarded.

>>62445538
Is there any sound or visuals degradations? I only want to play some simple visual novels.

>>62445494
I was having a non trivial issue for a novice.
Now I'm on mobile and just want to get I done.

>>62445481
Depends on what program. Some things work perfectly, other things are a pain to get running, and even then, they might have issues.

install gentoo

>>62445483
Doesn't really matter. Would recommend the one you install the OS to.

>>62445574
you need a root (/) partition at the very least
swap and home are optional
whichever drive you select for the bootloader, grub will probably go there and let you choose which OS to boot

remember after you restart when the install is done, you'll still have to boot with the "nomodeset" option until you install the proprietary drivers for your GPU

someone can correct me if something is off

>>62444554
Use a newer version

Don't fall for the meme you fucking idiot, just run Ubuntu in a virtual machine if you want to try this shit. If your PC ain't a toaster you'll notice literally no performance loss. On VMware at least.

>>62445926
I'd wait with the celebration until you got the drivers up, but it should work.

My specifications in OP.
I tried Oracle VirtualBox but there's lag when typing.

Ok, installation done but the dual boot is not working, Windows starts normally.
I will reinstall again this time placing the boot loader on the SSD.

>>62444554
>nvidia
You deserve it.
Never had a problem with Intel or AMD graphics.

You could always disable the dedicated GPU from the BIOS you stupid niggers

>>62444608
Maybe install the non-free NVIDIA drivers. You could switch to your integrated graphics if you have one.

>>62444554
Nvidia Driver fucks up, either boot without nvidia drivers being loaded up or remove the card for install and put it in after.

if you have a boot menu(motherboard), try booting from the drive you installed it to

Then installed the nVidia drivers and everything seems OK.

That isn't the problem here
it should be well known(by now) that nouveau is shit for many new cards
why Ubuntu uses it as default is beyond me
