How do you boot straight to Linux (Ubuntu)

post by sc4586 on May 31, 2023

Hello: I’ve arrived on scene and have a new Lambda system that boots straight to Windows. It was supposed to be Ubuntu with all the ML SW installed. I did not see any instructions for dual boot, and the accompanying documentation was straight up Linux.

How do I boot to Linux? Since this was the configuration out of the box, it seems strange the documentation does not reference any of this (and a Linux system was supposed to be ordered).

So, under windows, I installed my R code, tensorflow, etc and it runs, but can’t see the GPUs. I’d like to get the GPU enabled, and Linux would be preferable.

Thank you!

Scott
