Yes, that works, but all settings are lost on reboot. So now I do the full install, wiping my Windows 10 harddisk.

And begins UasmBasix and the RichLinux IDE.  :greenclp:

But seriously, there should be a way to install Linux to the USB drive?
:biggrin:

Yes,.. when you create the Bootable 'Live' USB, you need to create a space/partition for 'persistence' / Your data / settings  :smiley:
Some distro's may allow your 'live' distro, to store your settings on the Windows hdd somewhere and will Read it on re-boot.
Knoppix could do that even running from CD/DVD as can some others and No it doesn't create a 'partition' or 'mess' with the Windows install  :smiley:

Porteus allows you to create a persistent 'Save File' on your usb stick:
Porteus - Persistence

Perhaps you CAN do it on Mint, with Aptik ??
How do I get my settings to a Mint Live USB?
Scroll towards the bottom (I have no experience with Aptik) or with Mint really, I tried a couple of versions a while ago.

Linux Mint successfully installed! Well, kind of: after pulling out the USB stick in response to "Remove the installation media and hit Enter", it has been printing "SQUASHF error" to the console for the last 5 minutes. Console printing is fast, though, compliments :thumbsup:

Would be nice to know how it can be stopped. Ctrl C doesn't work, Ctrl Alt F3 neither. I guess I will have to hold the Power button for 5 seconds. Yep, that worked :badgrin:

Well as they always say on 'The IT Crowd', ...

The good news is it seems to work now.
The bad news is Linux Mint should not have been released into the wild. In 20 years from now, maybe :cool:

I tried red hat long ago,but recently "red hatters" was something else :)
I tried my Java both on windows and Linux and it seemed to run faster on linux,it also had cool Java native compiler that compiled to faster x86 code,but primitive lacking support for GUI app
You have a very long  kind of "autoexec.bat" ,there you can customise most things

Hello,

Linux as a server operation system is a very good one. You can install and configure Linux systems to replace important Windows services like SMB,DHCP etc.

I run Ubuntu Server at home, it runs my DLNA server for media locally and SMB so I can get my media when I'm out.
It also runs AdGuard to get rid of ad tracking, although I still need to use UBlock Origin in the browser  :sad:
Visual Studio is excellent for building assembly code projects, imo.  :tongue:

Hi Sinsi,

Ubuntu does the job. You can also try a member of the Red Hat family, a RHEL derivative. Unfortunately, CentOS took another path for the development but you could try Oracle Linux. Rocky Linux and Alma Linux are the other candidates to replace CentOS.
