How I am installing Fedora linux on a MSI machine.
| Get the installation file.
From getfedora.com and download the "Workstation" and ISO file.
Command line where you can get better feedback than downloading from browser.
wget -c https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/33/Workstation/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-33-1.2.iso
Copy the URL from "Download" button on page.
| Write the image to USB drive
Insert USB drive.
Run lsblk to figure out which drive it's assigned.
sdb 8:16 1 7.3G 0 disk <-- the line I need.
sdb in my case.
Note that it's "sdb" and not "sdb1". You are writing over the whole disk, not on a partition on the disk.
Then run
sudo dd if=Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-33-1.2.iso of=/dev/sdb status=progress
Your installation media is ready.
[| Install
Pull out the pendrive and insert it into MSI computer. Reboot. Should boot from the USB pendrive. If not check BIOS and set boot media property.
From boot menu select "Boot Fedora"
Once boot select "Install to Disk"
Pass the keyboard-langauage selection screen.
Fix timezone to Dhaka.
Select disk to install. I selected the SSD for installation. Remove all old partitions on disk. "Delete all" and "Reclaim space".
Now start the installation.
Went smoothly.
End of installation; you will still remain on the USB version of Fedora booted.
Therefore shutdown and restart. Pull the USB drive out before restarting.
Booted perfectly; and was inside Fedora in minutes.
While booting you can see the boot screen pressing ESC. Otherwise you will see a progress bar running but no message on what's going on.
That was quick and easy.
