Hello sir,
I am Shourya Pratap and I am having some problems while installing Garuda linux Lxqt, Whenever i make a bootable drive and tried to install Gauda linux lxqt, the boot menu appers, and then I tried to install it but it stucks on the eagle logo, I've tried it almost 10-15 times making a bootable pen drive but the same problem appears. Please help me.
Please reply me as soon as possible--
Removed the contact info as its completely unrelated.
Too much info about yourself and not enough about your system.
Which ISO did you use? Which software did you use to prepare the USB? Did you turn off secure boot? When logo appears, press espape and tell us what the log is saying. What is your hardware?
You need to provide more info. And not about yourself.
Hi there,
Due to problems on installing Garuda Linux on machines with less than 4GB RAM, and users not reading minimum requirements, we forcefully barred users from installing Garuda on system with less than 4GB RAM.
But the message should clearly state that.
Also, we will consider removing this for LXQT and other light weight versions in future.
I absolutely understand your arguments. And it must be terribly annoying when the cellphone rings every minute: "Help me, I can't boot" ...
Users who download Lxqt want a lean system with an infinite amount of RAM or they would be happy to use Garuda with minimum requirements.
I don't know and I am wavering what is the best way.
Btw, @Ansh , I would suggest buying 4GB or 2GB RAM module for your laptop. Pretty cheap, around $15 - $20 for 4GB in India. (Around 1000 to 1500 INR) for 4GB and around $7 - $10 for 2GB. (500-700 INR)
Because even if you don't like Garuda Linux, you will still feel other distros lagging with current specs. In my opinion, it is completely worth to buy a bit more RAM, if you want to run your laptop smoothly.
(going out on a limb here) but the reason would be that the underlying system (utilizing memory etc) has higher requirements despite whatever DE is in use. So as stated, Garuda just isn't suitable for ancient or anemic system.
I would say a more minimal system like Manjaro with a light DE would fit better, or Slackware? (Maybe LUbuntu as it's tailored for laptops with minimal resources)
