Hello,
I have purchased a new laptop from PCS (Optima IX) and it works great. However, I am having issues getting Manjaro Linux installed onto the 2nd half of the M.2 SSD.
I have never had issues before dual booting (I have even had 7 different Linux distros all booting alongside Windows before) - but this is the first time on a laptop with a nvidia GTX card and I beleive this is where the issue lies.
I have tried 6 Live USB images (that I know work) but all of them (Ubuntu, Manjaro, Deepin, Fedora, etc) have all crashed part way through the Live boot. So I cannot get any of them to boot at all from the live USB image.
It seems to be where the Live boot process tries to engage the graphic drivers and they clearly have issues with the 1050 ti.
I have seen other posts from people that have altered the install process because of this - but all of these have been with USB Images that have booted.
Does anyone know how I can get the Live USB image to boot, so i can at least use the Linux command line to alter the install process?
Thanks in advance.
