So, I decided (via a virtual machine) to download debian. Everything seems to be working fine, except when I open debian, it takes me to "yunohost login". I tried everything I could think of, from "root" to the username it told me to put for the user, even "admin". Nothing worked.

If you're literally unfamiliar with the technical process of this, I suggest you go back and read a guide, so every step very literally, and then come back if you have a problem.

It's very obvious that's you're skipping steps or ignoring something.

That looks like the bootloader is broken, or the VM BIOS settings got changed after install.

Thanks so much!!! I tried emulating amd64 on my arm64 computer, could that be the issue?

If you changed it after installing the OS in the VM, that would be the cause.

I didn't change it, thank you!
