Hi.
I have been trying for last 2 days to install Linux on my new laptop. I tried different USB tools, linux distributions and versions without any luck. I want to install Red Hat but I also tried CentOs and Ubuntu. The stable and beta versions. Windows run fine.
EDIT: I'm focusing on Ubuntu now since there are Recoil 2 users that have installed it successfully. I had an issue with my USB drive but I got a new one an now Ubuntu boots but after few seconds while doing the setup (choosing keyboard layout, wifi, etc) it hangs. No errors displayed. I tried Ubuntu 18.10 and 18.04.
Do you have any idea?
If any of you have successfully installed Linux, could you send me the steps? what ISO did you use?
Thanks!
