Manjaro ISO Problem

Support
1

when i download manjaro on and check its checksum match i burn it using balena etcher on my usb flash drive but when i boot it it says gnome desktop not found

2

Which ISO?
Link?
Any options to etcher?
(slightly aside … I dont much like etcher or rufus. For a classical write ISO to USB there are better alternatives like mintstick, imagewriter, and good 'ol dd … though I prefer ventoy overall - much easier/faster to use ISO’s, and doesnt take up all the space … easy recovery usb… etc.)

Can you verify where you got the ISO? Show us the link?

this link: Manjaro Downloads

Just making sure. Theres things floating out there like these:
Manjaro Installation Media – Manjaro Linux – Enjoy the simplicity
Manjaro Linux - enjoy the simplicity
(though it appears that they point at nonexistent files now…)

The very reason so-called hotlinking of files has been discouraged for more years than I care to remember.

There is only one link (for general consumption): https://manjaro.org/download/.

Don’t use random links from the interweb

Use Manjaro Linux Web Download page.

Manjaro Linux has repo package with a script and a simple GUI to download and verify a Manjaro ISO.

sudo pacman -Syu manjaro-iso-downloader

Another option is to use the script from this topic on [root tip] [Utility Script] Using python to download and verify a Manjaro ISO

The most versatile method to boot the ISO is to use ventoy - also in the Manjaro Repo.

Ventoy is a tool to boot an USB stick (with a selection of ISO files) then select which ISO to load.

sudo pacman -Syu ventoy

https://ventoy.net

The ISO can also be written to a USB stick - ensure you use the a method compatible with dd utility.

Due to the way the ISO is assembled and booted - utilities which unpacks the ISO and writes the content to the USB will not work.

The download page does not show all available ISOs (or the package list)
Minimal ISOs with older kernels 6.1 and 5.15 are available in forum release announcement
