Partially related to my previous post here, but instead of support this is more of a general question.
(tl;dr: AntiX boots fine on the aforementioned laptop, while other distros need a custom kernel argument in order to boot, why does this happen?)
While messing around and trying to get Linux to boot on my friend’s laptop, I noticed that AntiX specifically booted without needing to mess with any kernel arguments (unlike Fedora [and forks], and presumably others too [I only checked Fedora-based distros since that’s what I was trying to install]). What’s different with AntiX compared to (at least) Fedora to where Fedora has issues booting while AntiX boots perfectly fine?
I kinda want to guess that AntiX uses a different bootloader, but then why would a kernel argument be the thing that fixes Fedora?
Have you compared settings differences in the UEFI between the two computers? I’ve found that some settings needed for Windows 11 to boot cause some Linux distros to fail. I believe it was secure boot or something similar to that that was my specific issue.
