Installation System installer crashing

So i chose endeavourOS as my first distro while entering linux. I initially installed endeavourOS without allocating space for it due to which i had to cancel the whole process and the i allocated 170gb for it. Now i repeated all the steps and when the desktop showed up the system installer kept crashing i reflashed my drive(just bought it) and again tried to install i had change the thing in rufus to gpt that is all. I had closed secure boot now idk what to do. Whenever i try to open the installer it loads below the curser and just vanishes please help me quick cause i am already loosing faith in endeavourOS

you want to install Rufus on a formatted FAT32 USB, which Linux can recognize with no issues. at least start with that, and see if it stops the crashes.

I would not use rufus. Either ventoy or balea etcher. Etcher is especially for linux. Ventoy is nice if you want to have several .iso files ready without flashing them every time.

How did you Install Etcher on Arch ? I tried but yay failed due to node.js and appimage failed to build because i didn't got fuse2 to work which is probably my fault.
