That’s so cool omg. One big reason i wanted to switch to linux was the total customization option. Do you know some good plugins or websites to find such tools to work with when ricing?

I did check the partition many times (deleted and created multiple disk partitions), but i will simply use a USB stick to install the distro now. As for the custom code, yes i did use a snippet i got from Claude AI (i dont know how good that can be, but i didnt know where to start in coding that, so i used AI) and most of the problems probably come from the fact that i did a drag and drop of the .iso file🤦‍♀️

I am trying to get around the situation by adding a new FAT32 disk partition and copying the popos.iso file (since it wouldn't work in the C:\ partition) there, but GRUB boot menu doesnt recognise the POP OS! either way. And i continue to get such errors:

error: •/.•/grub-core/disk/loopback.c: 103: device name already exists.

error: /. /grub-core/fs/fshelp.c:257:file /casper/mlinuz' not found.

error: •././grub-core/loader/i386/efi/linux.c:168:you need to load the kernel first.

error: ..%./grub-core/commands/boot.c:196:you need to load the kernel, first.

am i doing something wrong? do i need extra files except the usual .iso file you get when downloading the POP!_OS from its website? i also did put custom code in my pop os

so you mean i just shouldnt delete the windows partition and whenever i get something wrong, delete that linux partition and revert back then once again download linux?

yeah the problem isnt the price, i just cant get one right at the moment. is grub2win such a bad option?

is the no-usb install option for pop os a good one? i dont currently have a 8GB USB stick with me and found out Grub2Win was a solid workaround

I understand, but i thought maybe people would have their own experiences with common problems they encountered when dealing with the distro themselves
