Stuck in Linux Loop?


Zookeeper

Recommended Posts

Tried using the VCS site instructions to install Linux (can't recall which distro) awhile back. I used an external SSD. I successfully got Linux running, but in the process I got myself 'trapped' with no apparent way to go back to Atari OS. Finally did a factory reset. I'm fairly useless with tech stuff; has anyone had this happen? Thank you.

External SSD takes priority over booting Atari OS by default.   Unplugging it should get you back to booting Atari OS,  also you can change the default boot order in BIOS

 

Another option is there is a command called efibootmgr in Linux that will tell you what the default boot option is,  you can also use it to change the default boot order

A third option is to install a boot manager like Grub or reFind onto the SSD, this will allow you to choose which OS you want to boot when you power on
