can I resell Raspberry Pi's with eOS on them?
But making an installer is hard to do from scratch. So you may want to modify an existing one, such as the one that elementaryOS uses, or the general-purpose calamares framework, in which case your installer is bound by the terms of their license to the extent you modified or are redistributing their code.

Installing elementaryOS in a 12” MacBook. Does anyone know how to install it ? I have tried but it stops on the 3 options of - try - custom install or erase disk!
The installer is currently broken for the 2017 12 inch MacBook, and for pretty much all Macs 2017 and onwards. I’m in the same boat as you. It’s because the Installer is not correctly configured to see the NVME SSD’s cluster size. There’s an issue open on GitHub, namely this onethat has instructions to fix it, but I could not get it to work. There was a PR with the fix, but has not hit the 6.1 ISOs so here’s hoping it’s fixed with OS 7.
- Installer Issue #591
- Window too small to see install button (Host: Windows 11, Guest: Elementary OS 6.1)
- Some languages are put at the very end, due to their names being lower case which fucks up the alphabetic sorting. I didn't knew about this, and thought polish has been excluded from elementaryOS and popOS

Install freezes when im about to select partitions
Afterwards, I'd give it a shot again, and see what the results are. If it still occurs, you may be able to try disconnecting the other drives, though this is not something that should stop the installer from working. If it does, please file a bug report at your convenience! https://github.com/elementary/installer/issues

Trying to install elementary OS, but it is showing blank screen. And after a while it shows install elementary OS not responding.
I had that same problem, see [here](https://github.com/elementary/installer/issues/514). A workaround I discovered is to first go into demo and mount my large ntfs partition. Then going back to the custom installation, disks show up normally.

Nvidia X Server Settings not working
Ubuntu lets you do this without the command line, and Elementary have plans of implementing it, but I doubt that will happen anytime soon.

It's a common problem. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/3433 and https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/443. There's a similar issue for elementary OS.
