Find the BIOS keystroke. Varies between Beelink/BMax units. Sometimes

Try reading that again, particularly the part about using Windows to

I have three laptops and two desktops and a number
of PIs and BeeLink/BMax boxes - all Linux. Haven't
had Winders around the house since, gee, XP. Do have
a Win2K VM around, somewhere, for occasional retro
kicks.

Admittedly though, MOST people will make their first
Linux install stick using Winders. Tragic. I got it
started using RHEL and early SUSE that came on
floppies bought from WalMart. Never needed Win
after that. Had to deal with its BS at The Job for
a long time alas - MUCH happier with my Linux
servers and such but the staff was NOT gonna switch
to Linux, most could barely work Win. Alas only
ONE other Linux convertee in the place.

Why would you call it "tragic" to make a USB media with Winblows? It
works. I admittedly rewrote the media under Linux itself, to
eliminate Rufus' fingerprint, but I did install the first Linux distro
on this machine from a media made in Win11. It didn't make any
difference in terms of what was installed. You apparently are such a
purist you can't even look at Winblows on the screen without pissing
your pants, or something.
Sarcasm isn't your stronger suit, is it?
WinBlows is the GREATEST tragedy of all .....
Just DON'T !
