System Requirements

Step 1: Downloading SuperGamer

1. Visit the official site at http://www.supergameros.example.com.
2. Select the ISO matching your architecture (x86_64 is most common).
3. Choose a nearby mirror for speed.
4. Hit “Download” and grab a cup of coffee—servers can be busy.

Step 2: Verifying the Download

Integrity is everything—nothing ruins a gaming sesh like hash mismatches. In a terminal:

Step 3: Creating a Bootable USB

Two popular methods:

Method A: balenaEtcher (GUI)

• Download from https://www.balena.io/etcher/.
• Select ISO and target USB drive.
• Click “Flash!” and wait. No terminal black magic needed.

Method B: dd (Command Line)

Step 4: Adjusting BIOS/UEFI Settings

• Reboot and enter BIOS/UEFI (Del, F2, F12 or Esc depending on your board).
• Disable Secure Boot (unless SuperGamer supports your key).
• Enable USB booting or move your USB device to the top of the boot order.
• Save exit.

Step 5: Installing SuperGamer

Once booted from USB, you’ll see a live menu. Choose Install SuperGamer and follow the wizard:

Partitioning

• You can use the guided “Erase disk” option for simplicity.
• For dual-boot: choose “Something else,” create an ext4 root partition (/), optionally a swap partition or swapfile, and a separate /home for neatness.

Wizard Walkthrough

1. Select your time zone and keyboard layout (pro tip: don’t switch to Dvorak mid-game).
2. Choose your username and strong password.
3. Accept the default bootloader location (MBR or EFI partition).
4. Click “Install” and watch the magical progress bar.

Don’t panic if it takes a bit—good things come to those who wait (and who have SSDs).

Step 6: First Boot Post-Install Setup

1. System Update

2. Graphics Drivers

• NVIDIA: # sudo apt install nvidia-driver-latest
• AMD: # sudo apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers
• Intel: built-in, but update Mesa for best results.

3. Gaming Platforms

• Steam: # sudo apt install steam
• Lutris: # sudo apt install lutris
• Wine Proton: # sudo apt install wine protontricks

Launch each once to finalize setup and download any extra runtimes.

Performance Tweaks

• Enable governor=performance in /etc/default/grub for stable CPU clocks.
• Use gamemode (# sudo apt install gamemode) to boost runtime performance.
• Adjust compositor settings: disable vsync, lowering latency.
• Consider CoreCtrl or MSI Afterburner (via Wine) for GPU tuning.

Troubleshooting

• No bootable media found: Check USB on another machine or recreate with Etcher.
• Black screen after install: Boot into recovery, purge proprietary drivers and try nouveau or AMD open source.
• Wi-Fi not working: Identify chipset (# lspci) and install firmware-iwlwifi or vendor firmware.
• Sound issues: Open pavucontrol, verify output device, unmute channels.
