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.

I'm just not sure what I am doing wrong here. It boots on every single other computer in the house (3 different ones) but when I try to do a single boot on my system 76 laptop it just won't do it. What am I doing wrong?? It has custom firmware on it

what are your boot options listed in your firmware/bios? is usb included among them?

if it applies to your situation: system76 has support options.

I did message them and they said the distro may just use and old base that it doesn't support I guess.
