Hello everyone, I was using Garuda until a few month earlier and had an issue with docker, i even asked for help for the specific issue in Garuda and Docker forums but couldnot find an answer. Then I thought it could be because of me that I installed Garuda KDE Dr460nized, then I switched to Pop_OS. This process also wasnot easy as well, I had to use grub menu in order to load efi file since grub couldnot see my bootable device. In short I have the same issues and even more maybe in Pop_OS.
I wanna install KDE Dr460nized again since I love it, -it wasnot an easy decision to change my distro from Dr460nized to another, but the problem is whatever I do and try I cannot show my computer to boot from my USB drive.
My specs:
Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8
i5 13420H 16GB 512GB SSD RTX4050
First problem I see; I am not able to control my bios settings -both with Garuda and other distro- such as secure boot, boot order etc.
Lenovo don’t list compatible drivers for Linux for this computer like Thinkpads, but I dont think this might be an issue(?)
I tried to make a bootable device with Ventoy, B Etcher, Disks Utility etc, none of them showed up in the boot menu. The distro am using know is using sytemd-boot bootloader. I thought I can use the same method I used before if i use grub as my boot loader:
This didnot work as well. I can use grub terminal, list the devices etc, but I whenever I try to chainload Garuda efi file it gives error as “/EndEntire”, as I searched its a secure boot error, which I am unable to change from bios.
My bios shows enabled in the list but just below it says secure boot status is disabled.
Any help is appreciated. I wanna go back to Garuda since its much more useful for me. Just an example; I have an Asus portable monitor that Im using actively and need to change its brightness whenever I work in different places. I need to adjust the brightness on monitor’s buttons, but with using Garuda I was able to control the brightness where I can control my laptop’s brightness. Garuda has many more capabilities that I need and cannot find in the distro Im using now.
