Not to worry i have my wifes laptop it can open files bit strange.

exe files are Windows executable and only run with another linux program called wine.

dd is a linux command line utility that is used to copy files. It writes the iso file to the flash drive so to make to bootable. Make sure the flash drive is not mounted before running the dd command.

I can not follow your other posts. Once the iso file is copied to the drive reboot the system and select it as the boot device.

Thanks for your help. I am looking at the desk top screen I was able to download the ISO on my wife's laptop. It opened fine. If I left click on Garuda installer the box vanishes.

Ok, That looks reasonable.

Now what happens when you boot from the usb drive.
