I will exclude my attempts to install debian Trixie since it is still in development however the net install doesn’t seem to be working at all.
So I tried debian bookworm the live disc. It did install fine. Everything worked until I first booted the system. All I could see was some (fuck you Nvidia) Nvidia errors and that it couldn’t start the ssdm so it threw me into the tty however debian per default disables the root account or whatever and the other account wasn’t in sudoers file yet. So I couldn’t log in into tty.
New install borked and no way of fixing Nvidia drivers…
So I used the normal image of debian. Then it worked.
if a user is not in the sudoers login as root and edit your /etc/sudoers. look for the line that starts with “root ALL =…” copy and paste it below with root replaced with your username
edit: nevermind I missed the part that said disabled the root account. that’s weird not sure why you wouldn’t be able to access root unless maybe a typo during password creation
I had a similar issue with my laptop. Didn’t know at the time what the button to press to open system settings was. So I had to go through the whole win11 set-up process before plugging in my green beater drive to get the new OS on it.
OMG! Elon you should totally direct your minions of big brain programmers to create a new OS… XOS? About 6 months oughta be enough time to crank that out.
I bet if he did try to make his own OS, he’d buy the rights to the name XOS. That, or he’d just do something that doesn’t make the list for dumbest things he’s ever done but is still really dumb and just use another random letter instead of X.
Using another windows pc, make an 11 install USB by downloading Rufus USB. Then use it to download the English international windows 11 iso. After pressing start or whatever you get option to remove online account, make a local account, and remove system requirements as well as privacy questions etc.
Once installed, go to revi.cc and download the playbook and the Windows AME tool to “ameliorate” windows of all its bloat.
I love that Rufus, just a simple bootable (not for Windows specifically) USB maker software, specifically targets a single piece of software (Win11) and offers you to install those mods. I find that kind of beautiful.
Not anymore. The last version of Windows 11 I installed on bare metal did not allow the trick when you just turn off the WiFi. I had to Shift+F10 to get to the command prompt, enter “oobe\bypassnro”, then reboot before it would allow a local account.
You can, by using the terminal trick I was referring to. If you simply try to set it up without connecting it to WiFi or Ethernet, it will not let you go past that screen until you connect to a network.
