Ok, I made good progress today…
Secure boot - off
Integrated video ram - fixed at 8gb
New Samsung m.2 1Tb drive
Created bootable USB using etcher and dragon gamer ISO following instructions in Garuda download section
Set boot on Beelink BIOS to USB drive first
OS Install ran without a snag
I have two features I am sorting out…
- the wireless didn’t come up as it was asking for a KDE wallet password so I selected Blowfish but no love. Here is description of the issue…
I think I’ll bite the bullet tomorrow and run some Ethernet through the attic. Signal was only 30% anyway (turns out running Wi-Fi antennas INSIDE a metal box doesn’t work so good). Looking at you Beelink.
- No HDMI audio out… Should be a simple audio out setting, I will follow up tomorrow.
Those issues aside, kicking back on the couch with wireless keyboard/ mouse running Garuda on a giant TV is pretty sweet!
More to come…
