Hello

I have a problem with Garuda Linux KDE, I can't get it installed. I used Rufus to put the ISO on a USB drive. I can boot from it, but I have a problem with the installer that tells me: there is no partition for the installation... even though I created a partition on my PC?

Thank you in advance for your future replies.

    Hello,

    Given the error, when partitioning, you did not declare a partition / to accommodate the Linux system you are attempting to install.

    I recommend that you first reduce your Windows partitions via the disk management to leave unallocated space on which we will install Ubuntu. It is on this space that we will create three Linux partitions: 
    /
    (the system), swap (the equivalent of the paging file), and 
    /home
    (the equivalent of my documents). Ideally, you should plan between 5 and 20 GB for 
    /
    in ext4, 4 GB for swap, and as much as you want for 
    /home
    say 20GB (so an adjacent unallocated space of 44GB).

    Then restart from your USB key and perform a manual partitioning, in which you will create the three partitions I just mentioned, making sure not to alter your Windows partitions. Be particularly careful not to overwrite or format your Windows partitions. The newly created Linux partitions (and not reused) will be formatted.

    Good luck.
