Linux Research & Setup Guide

[DeadlyDeathAngel]

From research I have fixed:

-> Net Framework issues
-> Drive Issues - This requires a little bit of step by step processing to make sure it works for you! 😄
-> EXE File fixes, - this means it runs under Wine (a subsystem that makes programs run like under windows)
-> Desktop Wallpapers and what not.
-> Windows theme Linux (its called Cinnamon)
-> VLC Installed
-> Discord is natively allowed on Linux
-> Lutris for gaming
-> Sam Broadcaster 4.2.2 for Linux

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Optional:

-> Steam (which has Proton - helps windows games run under linux)
-> Virtual Computers - which will allow you to run windows on it.
-> Filetopia (won't be supported)
-> OBS Studio
-> Skype
-> Samba file transfer for linux
-> Different Web Browsers - (Auto Installed: Firefox)
-> qBittorrent -> For Torrents.
-> Tailscale
-> DJ Requester to be setup.
-> Audacity

Linux Setup Guide will be provided soon!
You're going to need: a

8gb USB stick AT MIN!
A Spare time and some download mediums.

-> https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/25.04/release/kubuntu-25.04-desktop-amd64.iso
-> https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/releases/download/v4.5/rufus-4.5p.exe

Once you have these we can start work on getting the Linux Bootable USB stick to work!

[DeadlyDeathAngel]

Step 1 has been posted above you need a 8gb USB stick, the time and some downloads (Rufus is important)
Step 2 requires some BIOS information (Usual buttons F1, F2, Del button) - You need to set the boot order, which i have a guide for Acer Aspire and custom made pc's
Step 3; you need to change so you're booting from the USB made in Step 1
Optional Step: Connect to Wifi! AGAIN THIS IS OPTIONAL (But recommended)
-> To do this click on the network icon at the bottom on the taskbar
-> Then key in your wireless password after selecting your network
Step 4: Once you've booted you'll be presented with a crown screen and this is the correct screen you need to click on "Install Ubuntu Cinnamon 24.04.1 LTS"  (Double Click)
Step 5: Select your Language pack - which should be English if you can understand this!  - Hit Next
Step 6: Hit Next (Accessibility options are available here)
Step 7: Keyboard settings; make sure you have yours set to your country for example mine is English (UK) - Hit Next
Step 8: If you connected to wifi already - you can hit next or connect here
Step 9: I would recommend Interactive Installation so hit Next!
Step 10: Ubuntu Cinnamon Desktop - Hit Next (NOT mimimized)
Step 11: To help with your system run smoothly; "Install Third-Paarty Software for graphics and Wi-Fi Hardware" (Tick!) then Tick Download and install support for additional media formats - Hit NEXT
Step 12: Erase Disk and install Ubuntu Cinnamon - BE WARNED: THIS WILL WIPE YOUR HARD DRIVE!!!!
-> Hit Next
Step 13: Create Your User area - this is also your password for "sudo" user. Super User permissions
-> Your Name
-> You can skip Computer name (This is for Network administrators)
-> Your UserName
-> Your selected password (its recommended having the password just not 12345 (don't do a me with MySQL months ago! hehe))
-> Hit next
Step 13: Your TimeZone - ensure your time zone is correct then hit next!
Step 14: Review your configurations then hit Next!

Then Sit back and enjoy some pot, weed, coffee or something else to your hearts enjoyment while this is installing!!

Once installed - Hit Restart Now

It'll prompt you to remove the installation medium then press enter - so remove the USB then hit enter!

You're Now completed with the installation Part 1

If you choose to do the update once loaded up hit close at the end

If you've downloaded the link (provided later) if you have the file downloaded from either here or from the website provided, (update later)

Some desktops laptops and other hardware will require you to sort out the boot EFI file, which i've got written down somewhere that will work, but

-> The EFI File is: Shimx64 - This is required to boot Linux Ubuntu - BUT i do not have the folder path atm. I will update later on when i do have the location where it is!!

-> Once you've got the Script.sh file (which i will be providing later on)

You'll need to make it executable (basically allows the commands to run on the script) you need a terminal to do this,. so open the usb drive you copied the file script.sh  to and then right click copy the .sh file and paste it into the downloads folder of linux in downloads right click an empty space not the file and then select open in terminal  "open in terminal"

if your a gamer select 1 for everything

now you'll be prompted with a black box with your username@computer-name ~/Downlods$ and a cursor flashing

We need to do this

chmod +x ./script.sh

that makes the script executable

Then we need to run the script

./script.sh

Once done it'll prompt for your password; you need to do this to install the script!!

Again this setup file will be provided later!!
Once you've done this sit back and monitor it; it'll prompt you for a few options after that you're on Linux

Linux Front again: We've run into a couple of issues with certain computers at the current time; trying to address it on the fly, but i'm not sure if its related to AMD/Intel/nVidia - we do have the following test areas:

-> Intel Graphics / Intel CPU
-> nVidia Graphics / AMD CPU
-> AMD Graphics / Intel CPU - This is the one that is presenting issues at the current time.
