What am I doing wrong here? The computer has Windows 11 on it but I don't want to use it I want it all the way off the machine.

Can this installer not overwrite the Windows OS with Debian? Edit: Just want to say thanks to all of you I'm going to experiment around with the advice you all have given and see how it works out! Absolutely love the passion and helpfulness of this community here on Lemmy for real!

@BobGnarley Try disabling secure boot in the bios. And maybe UEFI boot path security - I think I've seen that cause issues in the past too.

And if it's a Dell, set disk access from raid to AHCI.

I literally had to do this 2 days ago.

It is a dell its an Optiplex 3070 mini. You just boot windows into safe mode to change that right?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
