I have been trying for two weeks to install MX on a dell 27-7710 aio. I have also tried Antix.
If secure boot is on, grub will run and i can install but, the system will not boot with secure boot on and , without secure boot on grub will not run. A catch 22.
I don't know what the difference is but pc linux os will boot instantly from the usb and install in minutes.Not my favorite OS though.
My computer is running a i7-1255U x 12 with 64 Gb ram, 1 Tb nvme.
I am not looking for a response. Just wanted to make you aware of the problems with MX and Antix. I normally use both but, until the boot issue is fixed i will just use MX on my trusty T-430.
MX / ANTIX install not working
Re: MX / ANTIX INSTALL NOT WORKING
If you would like to try to work through this, then lets get a QSI from you ( MX Menu, Quick System Info, Copy for Forum, Paste here - even from the usb load )
I do remember an issue with a dell I work with a while back and as I recall the only way I could get it to start on secure boot was to go into the bios and set it to specifically use the linux load.
Normally, I just disable secure boot and then boot the usb and install.

*QSI = Quick System Info from menu (Copy for Forum)
*MXPI = MX Package Installer

In order to install Linux on that computer you must configure the SATA controller in the bios to use ACHI first.
