Hi,
I was installing xubuntu on a USB 3.1 Drive. I tested it with BIOS and UEFi installations, but it seams that I can't boot it on every PC/MAC later on.
I often get boot errors, so it will not boot at all. Now I saw some small guides on how to install in BIOS mode and later add the UEFi on the Stick. (with a previously created UEFI partition) But the problem is that it is without the LUKS encryption. I want to use disk encrption in case I am loosing the USB stick with personal dokuments or pictures.(no I don't want to use Veracrypt:) and put them into an encrypted file)
If I am installing it from a PC without HD could I think it will have a problem booting later on if another HD is in the PC which is recognized first. Could this Boot Error result from a HD problem or is it the Bios/Uefi installation? Should I try to set up Grub with the UUID of the disk rather then with SDA?
I am new to linux and I don't want to give up MacOS or Windows yet, so I want a propper installed Linux that I can boot on my PC/MAC Systems and where I can learn Linux step by step. Virtual Box isn't a solution as my Laptop is quite slow with running MacOS an Linux in the box.
Thanks for your thoughts,
M.
