How do i install blendOS in my old LENOVO G50 series laptop?
So i am new to this world of Arch linux and am trying to install blendOS on my old Lenovo G50 Laptop. It has Legacy Boot and BIOS. Also i had previously ubuntu installed on the same machine without much problems. I have tried GPT and msdos table partition both via gparted. Any suggestions where am i going wrong?

so you are doing manual partitioning?
You can’t use GPT with BIOS
So now i have done the following.
In BIOS -> Boot : I have changed from legacy to UEFI, Disabled PCE and Fast boot.
In BIOS -> Security i have disabled secure boot
In BIOS SATA controller changed to compataible and have selected other os in place of Windows 64 bit.
Since Gparted did not work well for me i am referring to this -> https://www.baeldung.com/linux/convert-disk-mbr-gpt-uefi and did the following.
Baeldung on Linux

Learn how to convert an MBR disk to GPT using tools like gdisk and mkfs.
and am stuck again at step 2.4 mentioned in the above page. Is there any guide how i can manually install the BlendOS via the console ?
That would be really helpful !
Indeed, I think that will ve great
Well, You can check GitHub repo blend-inst
Nope
It’s impossible
Try reinstall using gui
I will upgrade my hardisk and ram in a day or two and try once again with GUI. Will keep you guys updated. Appreciate the support.
