Thanks for this video! Nothing in the process was particularly difficult, but I'm always anxious that I might do something wrong, so seeing everything here really is appreciated!
Just throwing it out there I use Fedora mainly and have a dual boot windows set up. If you run windows on its own separate drive to the linux one it seems to work just fine (as fine as windows can anyways, lol)
Linux has moved on from having to learn the Terminal window and commands such as sudo get which I could never get the hang of. Thanx to this tutorial I'll give it ago again. I have 2 older laptops and an even older pc tower that just hang around gathering dust. Cheers for such a well put together video.🤗🤟👍
Hi, so I'm considering switching from Windows 10 to Linux Fedora 40, but I would like to test it on my laptop first via live usb test, just to see how the OS runs directly on my hardware without changing anything on my system. When I get to the Grub menu at 7:51, do I select the second option that says "Test this media" rather than the first one for what I'm doing? This is my first time doing this as well.
thanks for this! on my last install i accidentally pulled the thumb drive too early, causing a bunch of really strange glitches, and this video gave me some better instructions. thanks so much!
I am having a lot of porblem with wifi adapter. Shows wifi networks available near me but cant connect. I am using Cudy WU1400 adapter ( RLT8812BU). Any help?😢
I used my SanDisk thumb drive for the installation, when it was done I used the media writer to restore it, but now it won't get detected by any device, not even a windows, whenever I try to format it says [Error unmounting /dev/sda1: target is busy (udisks-error-quark, 14)], any fixes for this?
Thank you! Had a problem when I was supposed to reboot and take out the thumb drive, it was loading forever. I turned my PC off and on again and that fixed it.
Thank you for this, btw can you give commands for the proper way to install the best multimedia stuff? Is it gstreamer? Been 1+ years since I used fedora and I have forgotten and I remember last time it was hassle. I want to run all avc, hevc, av1, all anime, CGI, 1080p 4K videos without any lag, stuttering and screen tear. I will install mpv for that but the multimedia commands are very difficult for me to manage.
@Digital Scriptorium : Your tutorial is excellent. But how did you capture this whole thing so beautifully as it is done on VM and has been screen recorded. Can you please share the secret, please?
10:15 this is the scary part for me. I last time i tried to install Ubuntu i ended up wiping all my hard drive . I have one hard drive. I have 3 partion ,C: for window/ OS and D and E for data like games etc etc. 😢 I am tried of windows. Its so dang slow. I heard Linux is faster.
I don't blame you! Sometimes it's best to go all in for this but obviously you'll want to back up your data. Worst case you go back to a fresh install of Windows.
after i installed fedora and and rebooted it the laptop is asking for boot device then i reconnected my usb .now it is fresh installing the fedora again what is the issue here?
@@amitnishad0777 I just turned the computer on and off again, holding the power button down for 10 seconds did the trick, then it turned on just fine, if that doesn't work then im not to sure, also there are plenty of linux discord servers out there that can assist you ^
Does it take a long time to show the tour window after i click "start using fedora linux" ? Its been a while and nothing happened. *Fedora 40 installation*
If you're making the bootable drive on windows you can try this utility to make sure the thumb drive doesn't have hidden partitions taking up space. hddguru.com/software/HDD-LLF-Low-Level-Format-Tool/
@Digital-Scriptorium yes I have both I want to install fedora but I don't know what to expect with drivers for intel and nvidia, can I install hybrid mode like in popos?
Thanks for this video! Nothing in the process was particularly difficult, but I'm always anxious that I might do something wrong, so seeing everything here really is appreciated!
No problem! I'm usually in the same boat. I like to see it before I try it. :)
If for some reason you can't see your SSD pop up when choosing where to install the OS, go to the bios and change SATA to AHCI instead of RAID
This will delete everything on said drive tho
Thank you for the info.
everytime im done downloading fedora and restart it, the "welcome to fedora!" comes up and wants me to install it again.
This is after you pulled the installation media?
Just throwing it out there
I use Fedora mainly and have a dual boot windows set up. If you run windows on its own separate drive to the linux one it seems to work just fine (as fine as windows can anyways, lol)
Haha yep. That seems to be the way to go. I just personally do the one OS route.

Now i want my windows back and exit Fedora software please help me to do that
If you want a Windows 10 or 11 guide I do have videos on those on my channel.

Test the media basically checks the files and thumb drive are ok. Using the top option is fine to use as the live OS test.
@@Digital-Scriptorium Thank you, sounds good. Is it also necessary to format your USB drive to fat32 beforehand as well, or is that not needed?
@@kene9073 that's not needed. If you're using Rufus it will auto detect what's needed for the format. So just let it work it's magic.

No problem! Enjoy! :)
What about the xz libs vulerability / malware ? Has it been fixed on the version now presented for download ?
A good question and yes it should be mitigated. It for sure will be if you run updates on it once it's installed.
Recently got myself a framework 13 for school and decided to try out linux, thanks for this comprehensive tutorial it made installing fedora a breeze
No problem! I'm glad to hear it's helpful. Enjoy! :)
I am having a lot of porblem with wifi adapter. Shows wifi networks available near me but cant connect. I am using Cudy WU1400 adapter ( RLT8812BU). Any help?😢
Hmmm, RTL so I'm guessing it's a Realtek chipset which should be ok. Do you have the 3rd party drivers enabled?

I wonder if a low level format tool would help kick it.

I'm using a Lenovo m720q desktop as the computer that I load the OS on. I'm controlling it and capturing the video using a pi-kvm v3.
10:15 this is the scary part for me.

after i installed fedora and and rebooted it the laptop is asking for boot device then i reconnected my usb .now it is fresh installing the fedora again what is the issue here?
It could be your boot order in your bios or the boot loader didn't install for some reason.
4:40 we have the same wallpaper,,, both downloading fedora LMFAO
Haha classic!
yeah but when i try and boot from usb i get to grub menu but when i try to boot live session its just a blinking _ no matter what i do
I've seen where it sometimes just hangs for awhile and then goes forward eventually.
how to fix when Fedora 40 workstation installer won't start. I can boot from USB drive but install to hard drive don't want to start at all.
Is it just not reacting or hanging?
@@Digital-Scriptorium It's not reacting, not even install to hard drive prompt. Only spinning wheel.
I'm curious if you leave it be for 30 minutes and see if it eventually makes it through.
:)
I installed thank you. But my brightness is full even though i adjust the slider. Help me
Hmm, it might be worth checking the Fedora forums on that one.
can you link your wallpaper? It's cool
Are you looking for the Windows XP 4k Bliss background or the Fedora one?
9:47 when I do this step, it doesn’t say I have one. I opened my laptop and took my hard drive out and in again still not showing up with this
Anyway u can fix this
It could be a BIOS setting you need to alter. I believe the distros forums has a guide on what the specifics are.
@@Digital-Scriptorium yeah I tried downloading fedora and it ask me what disk but I had none
@@Digital-Scriptorium well my ssd card went whomp whomp
@@ZZY12365 interesting! But these things do happen.
Everything was smooth until I restart. I never got see the wallpaper again.. It was sooooooooooo slow.
Did you get to the text terminal interface instead of a desktop environment?
@@Digital-Scriptorium I went till login interface..
Can you please tell me which OS will be better for programming. Rather than windows.
@@Sunnyzn well I'm a big Debian fan.
@@Digital-Scriptorium thanks for the reply.
The step at 11:42 is taking an eternity to boot up, I'm not to sure what i did wrong here...
😅
Sometimes certain steps can take a long time. I just give them time.
i am facing the same problem
do i have to change the order of boot setting in my BIOS?
@@Digital-Scriptorium help
@@amitnishad0777 yes, try and see if that will help by adjusting it in your BIOS.
@@amitnishad0777 I just turned the computer on and off again, holding the power button down for 10 seconds did the trick, then it turned on just fine, if that doesn't work then im not to sure, also there are plenty of linux discord servers out there that can assist you ^
Thank you for this in depth tutorial
No problem! Enjoy! :)
i am doing this just now.! thank you
No problem! Enjoy! :)

I've noticed little quirks where things can act weird on certain hardware.
I cant free up my space in pendrive even though i delete everything.still shows available space 0

@@Digital-Scriptorium Can you tell me how to install whatsapp in fedora
@@DevPro-b9t you can try: sudo snap install whatsapp-for-linux
@@Digital-Scriptorium bro I want to do my dash to lock like kali linux
@@DevPro-b9t I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that.
For nvidia and intel which one to download?
Are you saying if you have a hybrid device that has both? I believe (I haven't tested it) that you can select both to pull the drivers.
@Digital-Scriptorium yes I have both I want to install fedora but I don't know what to expect with drivers for intel and nvidia, can I install hybrid mode like in popos?
@@chr433 I think you should be fine to install both.
@Digital-Scriptorium I will try
@Digital-Scriptorium Thanks for the help!
