Sorry for bring this back to life…
Well. I have one very complex situation. 2 Nve (1TB/2TB) and 1 Sata SSD 512GB.
Win11 Insider main OS on Nve slot 2 (1TB Kingston trash drive) OEM and in port 2 from Acer Store. Nve p1 (2TB) and Sata M2 SSD Toshiba (512GB) from personal upgrades.
Really tired from windows updates, GeForce updates, DSA updates, one drive backups fails, one drive sync mess with library from time to time, Gdrive the same… Enough. need a dedicate OpenSource OS.
Ok spare the M2 for this and after almost a mounth trying every solution on search engines to install Nux on Acer Nitro 5 (i5-9G / GTX1650) the only way to install Nux that works for me was:
Clear the M2 drive (remove all partitions)
Create a VM with this specs: (I use Vmware but Vbox do the same)
- EFI and secure boot enabled
- Dont attach a standard Vhd
- Attach the M2 raw Physical Drive.
- Attach Ubuntu 24.xx iso.
- Boot from iso
- Install to M2 drive.
After install reboot and choose from where to boot from f12 key.
I can handle bcd to add all options in same place, but I don’t care to press f12.
Hope to help any other friend with a blessed device that don’t have way to remove or disable RST.
Best Regards.
