Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    If you've got a sizable USB drive, try Ventoy! Then you can put a bunch of .ISOs on it and boot from any one you want. It's good for trying distros, or sharing Linux with others, or even putting recovery/rescue software on it. Like if you want to run memtest or alter partition data with Gparted or rescue a system that's not booting.

    Great tool to have. You can even use the leftover space like a normal flash drive and it doesn't mind!

    Ventoy is so awesome! It's the tool I wish it existed a decade ago. The entire process of creating botable usbs was so tedious and time consuming, and now it's just copying the isos just like any other file. It works for almost any iso or img file, and even allows us to have windows isos as well.
