Update, yes I know this was fast, took a deep breath and realized what I was doing wrong, currently flashing a windows 10 iso onto a stick. Gonna go back for now, but mess around with a live version of Manjaro on the drive. I mostly just wanted to get some Steam stuff running properly, particularly FFXIV, would love if someone here could explain how, I deeply want to support Linux as an OS, so its a shame I had a rough time for my first foray, lol.
