I just got up and was next going to go back to centos 7 complete and then bring over all the ISOs and a zipped ventoy on the USB, use centos to partition and then install ventoy on the SSD and see if it worked better there. Thanks will try all this BTW secure boot is off. And the fact that I kind of hate Apple a little. There is only one thing stopping me from throwing in the towel with this and that is the fact that hosting a windows 10 VM on a 2022 mac is still a not-ready-for-prime-time proposition. I’m perfectly capable of working through these kinds of things on my own but I thought I was buying something with a little more maturity of integration than I have seen thus far.
I will be looking to see whether there is a HW compatible wifi card that has centos support because that is what I am gravitating towards, however it would be nice if somebody commented on the manjaro fiasco. Clearly I shouldn’t have done the roll-your-own version of this, but I never expected these kinds of problems on install of a suggested OS. I didn’t buy an ethernet port, thinking I didn’t need one, so I’m in a bit of a nether world at the moment. I blew 3 to 4 hours on these machinations and in mint, which is supposed to be trouble free for this machine I still didn’t get a loaded driver for the wifi. Then I got that fixed and burned mint, but when I installed mint half the time the trackpad wouldn’t work and it took a power cycle to fix it. So I made a boot usb for manjaro but the manjaro download page gives you some weird flavor of iso that destroyed the mbr of the usb drive so that was no good. I have used both mint and manjaro and currently prefer manjaro. My bad there because centos wasn’t listed as a compatible OS. I started with centos 7 which I got running without too much drama.
I have not had the greatest experience getting it to work. Love the display aspect ratio and that was one reason I bought one.
