My dinosaur of a laptop is so old that not only can't it support anything past Windows 10 (and it struggled like hell to update to it), but it also apparently can't support Ubuntu and I'm having trouble trying to install Linux. I think but I really have no idea what I'm doing that I can get Linux to work but it's going to require some tinkering and yeah I'm not an IT. Welp. Backing up all my files on my external drive first and then we'll try and see.

Anyway the post I wanted to reblog was about making a bootable usb with persistence! It's essentially a little computer hosted on the usb, and can be run on almost any laptop/computer with a USB port. Download Windows on that USB, Linux Mint, Ubuntu, anything you want! You could even download multiple OSes if you use a multi boot creator (and you have enough space)!

You can go to pendrivelinux and use the Yumi creator (Your USB Multiboot Installer). There are even guides on there for how to download various OSes, though the basic rules should be the same. Plus, you can always use guides from other sites and other installers!

Personally, I plan to use Mint once I get a new USB (I need a new one for various reasons). I'm going to put Mint Cinnamon version on there (it's the most popular) and try to download it onto my laptop as well. My laptop is slow though so if that doesn't pan out I'll use the XFCE version since it's very light weight and uses little resources!

Here is a guide for installing Mint via Yumi and Here is Mint's guide to verifying the integrity and authenticity of the iso you download.

Reblog with your worst Linux mistake

Linux Ain't Hard. Just Different. Come Play.

Microsoft Recall has been making waves in privacy circles. Some are calling it a privacy nightmare, some others are calling it a privacy nightmare, and privacy experts are sounding the alarm about it1. As usual, when Microsoft does a stupid – and in my eyes, this is a pretty big stupid – people talk about migrating to Linux. Of course, people still think that people who use Linux wear funny hats…

Mastering the Art of Creating a Bootable USB for Windows 10 Creating a bootable USB for Windows 10 is a crucial skill that every computer user should master. Whether you need to install a fresh copy of Windows 10, troubleshoot your system, or recover data from a non-booting computer, having a bootable USB can be a lifesaver. In this article, we will guide you through the process of creating a bootable USB for Windows 10, using different methods, and provide essential tips for success. [caption id="attachment_63124" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] windows 10 creates bootable USB[/caption] Understanding Bootable USBs A bootable USB is a USB drive that contains the necessary files and software to start up a computer. Unlike regular USB drives used for data storage, a bootable USB is specifically designed to help you install or repair an operating system. It acts as a portable installation medium, allowing you to boot your computer from the USB drive and initiate the installation process. When it comes to Windows 10, having a bootable USB offers several advantages. Firstly, it allows you to perform a clean installation of Windows 10 without the need for a DVD drive. Additionally, it enables you to quickly recover your system if it becomes unbootable or encounters critical errors. Moreover, a bootable USB provides a convenient way to install Windows 10 on multiple devices, saving time and effort. Preparing for the Process Before you dive into creating a bootable USB for Windows 10, there are a few essential steps to take. Firstly, ensure that your computer meets the system requirements for Windows 10 installation. Check the minimum hardware specifications, such as processor speed, RAM, and disk space, to ensure compatibility. Next, gather the necessary tools and resources. You will need a USB drive with sufficient storage capacity (at least 8GB) and a working Windows 10 ISO file. The ISO file contains all the files required for the installation. You can download the Windows 10 ISO file directly from the Microsoft website or obtain it through other legitimate sources. Once you have the required tools, familiarize yourself with the different methods available to create a bootable USB for Windows 10. The two most popular methods are using the Windows Media Creation Tool and using Rufus, a third-party software. Additionally, advanced users can also create a bootable USB using PowerShell. Understanding these methods will help you choose the most suitable one for your needs and expertise. Using the Windows Media Creation Tool If you prefer a user-friendly and straightforward approach, the Windows Media Creation Tool is an excellent option for creating a bootable USB for Windows 10. Follow these step-by-step instructions: Download and install the Windows Media Creation Tool from the official Microsoft website. Launch the tool and accept the license terms. Select the "Create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) for another PC" option and click "Next". Choose the desired language, edition, and architecture (32-bit or 64-bit) for Windows 10. Select the "USB flash drive" option and click "Next". Connect the USB drive to your computer and select it from the list. Make sure it has enough space for the Windows 10 files. Click "Next" and wait for the tool to download the necessary files and create the bootable USB. Once the process is complete, safely eject the USB drive from your computer. It is important to note that the Windows Media Creation Tool requires a stable internet connection to download the Windows 10 files. Additionally, make sure you have selected the correct language, edition, and architecture to match your requirements. If you encounter any issues during the process, refer to the troubleshooting section in the official Microsoft documentation or seek assistance from online forums and communities. Using Rufus If you prefer more control and flexibility, Rufus is a popular third-party tool for creating bootable USB drives. Follow these steps to create a bootable USB using Rufus: Download and install Rufus from the official website (available for Windows). Launch Rufus and insert the USB drive you want to use. In the Rufus interface, select the USB drive from the "Device" dropdown menu. Under the "Boot selection" section, click the "Select" button and browse to the location where you have the Windows 10 ISO file. Ensure that the "Partition scheme" is set to "MBR" (for BIOS or UEFI-CSM) or "GPT" (for UEFI only). Choose the "File system" as "NTFS" and leave the "Cluster size" as default. Enter a name for the USB drive in the "Volume label" field. Check the "Quick format" and "Create a bootable disk using" options. From the dropdown menu next to it, select "ISO image" and click the small disk icon to browse and select the Windows 10 ISO file. Finally, click the "Start" button to begin the process. Rufus will format the USB drive and copy the Windows 10 files onto it. Rufus offers more customization options, such as the ability to create a bootable USB for different operating systems and file systems. However, be cautious when using Rufus, as improper settings or selecting the wrong options can lead to data loss or other issues. Always double-check your selections before proceeding. Using PowerShell For advanced users who prefer a command-line approach, PowerShell provides a powerful method to create a bootable USB for Windows 10. Follow these steps: Open PowerShell as an administrator. You can do this by right-clicking on the Start button and selecting "Windows PowerShell (Admin)". Connect the USB drive to your computer. Type the following command: diskpart and press Enter. This will open the DiskPart utility. Type list disk and press Enter. This will display a list of available disks on your computer. Identify the disk number associated with your USB drive. Be careful to choose the correct disk, as selecting the wrong one can result in data loss. Type select disk X (replace X with the disk number of your USB drive) and press Enter. Type clean and press Enter. This will remove all existing partitions and data on the USB drive. Type
