Changing from Xfce to Dragonized

Hello, i’m currently using Garuda Xfce but i wanted to make the switch to dragonized.
So i made a bootable usb using DD
but it still isn’t booting a live session of dragonized, just my installed Xfce session.
I’ve already changed the boot order so that the USB’s get booted first.

Is there any way i can still switch to dragonized or am i stuck with Xfce?

Sometimes dd doesn’t work for this for me either. Try a reliable disk flashing utility like Popsicle or Ventoy.

Yep, this worked for me. i used the built-in usb-flasher in the thunar file manager and it did the trick

Nothing beats tried-and-tested-on-board tools. :sweat_smile:
