Hello,

I have been trying to install Linux on my Surface Pro 3, but for some reason it doesn’t want to boot on my USB drive.

I have disabled TPM and Secure boot in the UEFI and I switched the boot order to “USB -> SSD”.

I’m currently trying to install CachyOS, but i tried with other distros (Fedora KDE and Nobara) but each time it doesn’t boot on the flash drive.

The only time it booted was when trying with Nobara, but grub couldn’t load the kernel (on the photo).

I am using a dock with its power supply cable as I lost the “normal” charging cable if it matters (the USB drive is plugged into the side USB port).

When i try to boot (I have tried using the volume down + power button combo to boot the usb) i just get the Surface logo surrounded by red.

Can someone help me please ?
