Forget #bazzite
I can load up any other gaming Linux. This won’t run. I picked the appropriate hardware config. And it won’t run. Two different usb sticks, it won’t even be read. #ubuntu #linuxmint #pop_os #NobaraLinux just work. But not Bazzite. Not on a recycled computer. Not on a brand new gaming laptop.

Lesson learned. Which gaming Linux distro should I put on a warp drive gaming lappy?

FWIW I'm still pretty happy with Ubuntu. It's just on my daily driver laptop with modest specs, but the laptop is hooked up via TB3 to an Aoostar AG02 eGPU with an AMD RX 9060 XT. It can run Witcher 3 launched from Steam OK.

@infoseclogger I mean, define 'not run' what happens, what do you see.

Not saying I personally know what the solution might be but worth looking into. Shouldn't be a problem

@thibaultmol the computer will not read the drive with the Bazzite installer. Every other distro boots to the Linux boot loader//installer.

@infoseclogger @thibaultmol sounds like a problem with the installation media. May be because #immutable type OS? I couldn't get #atomicfedora to install but the normal one didn't cause any problems.
Anyhow #nobara is easy peasy great choice.

I'm curious about what you downloaded, because I just used the Live ISO media two weeks ago and last week to install on two different computers and it worked just fine. I mean, I don't think you have a USB drive problem, it's either a bad ISO download or a BIOS problem. Did you try to disable secure boot? (Not that I agree on disabling, but doesn't hurt trying).

Have to disable it for any of the linux. And I went to the Bazzite homepage and followed the instructions to download a build that was built for the chipset and drivers needed. No Joy.

Well, sorry. I see from another message in the thread that you already gave up so I'm not gonna bother you anymore.

@infoseclogger I would recommend CachyOS

@infoseclogger, you are not the only one, a friend recently had issues with installation of the NVidia variant, which is quite unusual for #bazzite. I hope they fix that soon and bring out a working installer.

@infoseclogger, I recommend #CachyOS for #gaming as primary purpose.

I built out a Cachy for a buddy, and it's working well. I am rocking Pop_OS for my gaming laptop, and have only had 1-2 minor bumps.
