Issue with computer mouse onscreen pointer.

Is the installer booting off the USB stick? The typically installer will boot up a linux system off the USB stick and provide an option to install on the harddrive. If that did not happen, then you have an installer problem. Did you make a bootable image on the USB stick per directions. It will not work if you just copy the iso file onto the USB stick.

One other thing, did you set your computer bios to allow booting off a USB stick. This is pretty basic, but do not know specifically the problem you are having.

Or you could be crazy like me and build you own PC -

Or in contrast, pick up a 4 or 8GB Raspberry Pi 4, a little M.4 PCIe SSD card in a USB 3 case, slap them on the back of a monitor, hook up a wireless keyboard and mouse, and call it a day. Nice little Linux system for next to nothing.

Don't forget the Intel NUC. Lots of good choices.

I have a couple of NUCs, wonderful little powerhouse of a box. I set my wife up with one over Christmas, and she loves that it fully replaced her big honking desktop (that I built for her ages ago). I liked it so much, I bought one for me for my basement system. It is a bit more $ than a RPI 4, though.

Perfect platform for Daphile.

I ran a converted Chromebox for Daphile for some time in the main system. Pretty nice, but underpowered (due to the Chromebox) AND I wanted to get the server element out of my rack. Moved on to an minimalist approach using a RPi 4 renderer running PiCorePlayer networked to a remotely located Synology NAS running LMS 8.0. Does a pretty nice job feeding my Chord Qutest. But I should try Daphile on the NUC at some point, it is a far more powerful box and can do software upsampling more effectively.

Get the beta 20.x series rather than the 19.x stable. http://www.daphile.com/firmware/beta/

Unable to load Linux. Tried two different USB boot-able programs and different versions of Linux but unable to get it to work.

Use: https://www.balena.io/etcher/ or: https://rufus.ie/ to write the iso to the USB drive..
