Installation Instructions

To create a bootable USB, you can follow standard guides for writing ISO images to USB using tools like BalenaEtcher, Rufus or dd.

Insert the USB into your computer and open the BIOS/Boot Menu. The key to open it depends on your device.
Common keys are F8, F11, F12, or Esc plus a Function key. Press the key repeatedly right after turning on your PC.
Use the arrow keys to highlight your USB drive, then press Enter to boot from it.

When the pearOS NiceC0re boot options appear, choose the right option:
- If you have an NVIDIA GPU (Kepler or newer), select Option 2 (press the Down Arrow once, then Enter).
- For all other systems, select Option 1 (just press Enter).
pearOS NiceC0re will start based on your choice. For NVIDIA users, the necessary drivers are enabled automatically.
