Title: Won't start under UEFI
Post by: uhoh on 04 April 2021, 22:21:37
Hi lovely Artix people,
I'm struggling to even boot my UEFI installation because I can't even start it under UEFI; I press the `f12` BIOS key and start up the system by selecting the UEFI USB. It takes *forever* to even show the Artix logo, and then when I press anything, and unresponsive black box appears. This is a Dell Optiplex 390 (older computer). Any ideas?

Use legacy BIOS boot - or get a newer computer?  :D  The Dell Optiplex 360 predates the introduction of UEFI boot:

Optiplex 390, my bad (USB 2.0).

It seems like it is, in fact, working, just *incredibly* slowly.
