    @dolphin_oracle: my issue with installing another OS, or rather the inability, is probably due to a bad installation of AntiX, perhaps in turn due the fact that during installation I chose to let AntiX wipe Windows off, when perhaps I should have done it manually with GParted. Anyway, Xecure has given me some hope to keep AntiX – keep my fingers crossed.

    I still believe it is not antiX’s fault, but something to do with the other distros not having good support for eMMC detection (or maybe a BIOS option like Secure Boot is active). Formatting the drive and later having the same experience with those distros will prove that antiX doesn’t take hostages, but that the distros can’t see without the “proper glasses”. You could even use a Windows10 live USB, as that should load without a problem (hopefully you don’t have to go to these extremes).
