Okay I'm trying to install #NixOS on a Microsoft Surfacebook and I'm getting this error. I just downloaded the image from their website and its on a USB drive.
I'm trying to boot into the plasma graphical installer. It says its failing to boot because mounting the nixos-graphical-26.05-x86_64 image is timing out. Any thoughts?
