From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What do you mean, custom firmware? Are you trying to boot a different distro of Linux?
When you have the USB drive plugged in, how are you booting up? What's the process you're using?
The system 76 open firmware I probably shouldn't have said custom lol I do the one time boot from USB option in the startup menu. I messaged them and they said it could be because the distro uses an older legacy base.
