Install PulsarOS

JaimeGH edited this page Jun 30, 2026 · 1 revision

Installing PulsarOS is a task a thousand times easier than installing Windows or MacOS.
All you need is a USB or storage memory and a disk image flashing tool.
If you come from another Linux distribution, we recommend that you do not use Balena Etcher. Use gnome-disk-utility.
For Windows users, we recommend downloading Balena Etcher.
We don't have to explain much about the flashing process in etcher, since even a 5-year-old child would know how to do it.
What we do have to talk about is the most common mistakes, to prevent everything from being messed up:

SecureBoot

Our great friend, the Secure Boot, a Microsoft invention to prevent the installation of Linux at the hardware level. Obviously it has a security component too, but it's a big pain for Linux. We are trying to implement support for Secure Boot, in the meantime you will need to go into your device's BIOS and disable it. It is not a virus or danger, the only thing your computer will not do is check the integrity of your operating system before starting it, to avoid viruses, but Linux has fewer viruses than Windows and PulsarOS is 100% auditable.
Search Google for specific instructions to know how to disable Secure Boot on your device model. You can use the AI ​​that we have already prepared for you here (thanks to Google AI Mode)

Dual Boot

Support for DualBoot has not yet been tested.
