UEFI or BIOS?

New ISO still crash.
Tested on virtualbox.

I've been struggling with this problem since begin of may, now I've just found out that if you change the BIOS system from Legacy to UEFI the installation works fine.

I've solved this problem changing my BIOS system from Legacy to UEFI.

Good for you but, what about motherboard no uefi?

So am I right in thinking that unless your motherboard has uefi/secure boot, that Neon is now uninstallable?
If so we could do with a Dev to comment on whether this is now a constant or an oversight.

Which sucks then. Because I still have computers that don't have UEFI boot capabilities. Guess to keep on using KDE Neon, people will have to stay with the last image that supported legacy bios and just update from that.

If they did strip legacy support, I don't think this is a very good move. I won't be able to find another distro that has Plasma, with it being a minimalist install, that's bleeding edge again. I didn't like UEFI. But now UEFI ruined my life.

I know. I'm dramatic. Well, I guess Kubuntu will be the only option for those wanting to use Plasma on an older machine.

2 options then as far as I can see. Kubuntu, from the install media you can choose minimal install, it omits all the Akonadi & mysqyl stuff, not quite as minimal as Neon, but good enough. Or openSUSE, they're just about to release their 15.2 version, not sure the size of the iso, but 15.1 kde was a mere 890mb. Very minimal.

I just tried Kubuntu with minimal install in VirtualBox. Before, there wasn't any option to do a minimal install for Kubuntu from what I remember. It seems pretty much the same as Neon minus the bleeding edge KDE software. But it's running 5.17 or so. So, I guess it's not bad. Well, for any older computers that don't support UEFI, I'll just use that. I prefer to stay with distros that use the Ubuntu base.

An updated Kubuntu 20.04 is running 5.18.5, & will stick to the LTS version of KDE. TBH, it's ran flawlessly for me since installation.

neon-user-20200609-1220 = the same problem

Even a little more faster than KDE Neon besides that discover crash everytime, long history of a mediocre "software center"

I was wondering if there is a way to skip the installation gui and install Kde neon in legacy from the live terminal, so without gui? if so what would be the steps? also I ask who knows if the impossibility of installing Kde neon in legacy without uefi is a bug or a deprecation of legacy mode forever, almost as they did for the 32 bits?

Last version 20200612-1753.iso is OK
The problem is solved.

The installer issue has been resolved with the latest release neon-user-20200612-1753.
