Glamhoth4938y@Treebasher I tried to install from usb on old pc but it gives me 'waiting 30 sec for device'. Works with cd tho.

@Glamhoth ahh. If the computer is old enough, it may not actually know how to boot a modern OS fully from USB without some tweaks. I've had that issue before. Seems strange, but might be what you're hitting

deliwa3228yHad to move to Linux today too, at first though that I could install and configure Arch for my needs, then I've remembered that I have work to do😅

drRoss48808yIf it's an old PC, use Plop boot manager to boot from a USB. Older DELL machines used to throttle the CPU speed when booted from somewhere that wasn't a HDD, which causes painfully long, often failing installs of any given Linux distribution. This doesn't happen when Plop is used.
