I want to switch back to Fedora so bad, Arch just doesn’t sit right with me, it’s not my cup of tea. I don’t know why Fedora wouldn’t open the live environment. Maybe because I used Rufus to flash the ISO to my USB not Fedora Media Writer.

Guess I can give it a go, if it still doesn’t then I still have Arch to go back to. Then I’ll take my hard drive out and reformat it then it might…

@orbitalmartian have you disabled stuff like "secure boot" from your motherboard's settings? It could be an issue as well.

@getimiskon I haven't touched my BIOS, I had Fedora installed before on this laptop. Then went to Debian (where I had GRUB issues) so went to Arch.

Fedora gave a point not found or out of range pointer error (can't remember the wording).

@orbitalmartian i think not disabling "secure boot" isn't really an issue these days, but i suggest trying it nonetheless. Also Rufus is pretty reliable when it comes to writing Linux images, so it isn't that.

@getimiskon But Fedora has there own media writer, I'm wondering whether that could potentially have an impact. I'm going to be trying again tomorrow getting Fedora installed.

@orbitalmartian so does windows, yet you don't really need it to make a bootable USB

@getimiskon I'm trying everything XD I'll have a look at the BIOS settings too.

@sotolf Personally I want something I know I can forget about and come back weeks/months down the line to a working system. Without updates daily, etc.
