Hi everyone, I have a problem with Garuda Dragonized Gaming 2021.01. Practically once flashed the ISO with balenaEtcher, I insert the USB Stick in my PC and the Live CD does not start. I have found that this happens with all distros (including Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE and other Arch) that have a Kernel 5.10 or higher.
Kali Linux with Kernel 5.9.1 works, so how can I get an old version of Garuda with kernel 5.9 or earlier?
Thanks a lot and in any case your distro is beautiful and always updated. Happy 2021...

Disable secure boot.
Use dd to burn the ISO.
Double check the ISO is not corrupt.

Therefore this is not a Garuda issue - something about your hardware does not like kernel 5.10, so it will be worth finding the root cause rather than asking the Garuda developers to make a special effort just for your system.

Hello! My BIOS has Secure Boot disabled by default. I just tried to use dd to flash the ISO to USB but it still doesn't work. So I think as @jonathon says the problem is in my hardware that doesn't like the 5.10 kernel that Linus Torvalds released. How can I request an old release from the Garuda developers?
Excuse me a lot, being Italian I didn't read that well. I will try to save to buy a notebook with newer hardware and will be using other distros for now. bye bye

I believe the barebones editions use the older LTS kernel (or at least they did before).
