If you want to install Linux on a desktop, you'll first have to create a bootable USB drive with your distribution of choice.

    It must have gotten better than the last time I tried to use Ventoy. Maybe 5 years ago? It kept complaining that the USB drive I was using was bad when it worked completely fine with other tools.

      It has gotten a lot better over the years

      That was basically my first experience with it as well also about 5 years ago

      Nowadays it works like a dream come true for every OS I’ve thrown on the drive

      I tried a couple of months ago on my Windows PC and something went wrong somewhere and my USB was stuck in a permanent read-only state.

      I definitely will give it another try though, it’s super handy to have.

      I’m an idiot and got Ventoy confused with another program I was testing at the time. Please ignore me.

        Was it VampBoy? I accidentally ordered one and opened the crate to find a sexy, undead Twink. ☹️ I wanted to nerd-out with Linux!!!
