having trouble installing manjaro tho(I think it might be a compatibility issue with the kaby lake cpu).
Got Linux installed on the computer!!!
turns out that it wasn't a problem with the kaby lake cpu.
The problem was Manjaro's live CD environment and the nvidia graphics. I solved it by using arch anywhere, running through the process of installing it, and had it auto detect drivers.
