Rufus VS arch-linux-installation-guide

You can also use Rufus. It has options to customize Windows 11 and one of them is to disable the hardware module requirement.

You can use Rufus: https://rufus.ie/en/

To modify the ISO to turn off hardware check and TPM support for Windows 11 to install it on an unsupported PC.

Besides Linux and BSD Unix there is: https://reactos.org/ https://aros.sourceforge.io/ https://www.haiku-os.org/ and https://www.arcanoae.com/arcaos/

I know some third-world nations still use DOS and the BORLAND DOS compilers because people donate old computers to their nations.

With the right OS, old computers are still usable. Please don't throw them away, e-cycle them so they get used by poor nations that cannot afford new PCs.

3. NVMe drives may not gracefully handle sudden disconnections, because USB connections are inherently unreliable interfaces prone to physical disruption and loss of power.

If your drive decides to stop showing up, first try loading up the boot device selection screen in the UEFI, and then insert the drive. It may take several seconds to show up. If trying that a few times doesn’t work, the drive may be stuck in a bad state, and might be recovered with the power cycle technique https://dfarq.homeip.net/fix-dead-ssd/

Always set up automatic backups if you actually have non-replaceable data on the drive. They can and will just suddenly die forever with loss of all data, just like thumb drives. You have been warned.

All that said, there are generally less issues if you are simply putting ventoy on it to install from a loaded iso.

I have a dual raid1 sata enclosure that I use to boot a windows to go install created with Rufus (https://github.com/pbatard/rufus), which makes testing and benchmarking so much nicer to deal with. I’ve even stuck games on it, and other than relative filesystem slowness it works pretty great.

The author has extensive documentation and tutorial content. First steps: download CD image, download Rufus (http://rufus.ie), write the image to the flash drive, remember that this will clear the data on the flash drive and it will not be recoverable.

Seems like you're an absolute newbie. Well, here is the website: https://github.com/pbatard/rufus Direct download link Youtube guide to create a bootable pen-drive

You can use that to create a bootable usb stick using rufus: https://rufus.ie

Note: Once you have created the "persistent partition" on the pedrive (you can use Rufus),during the Ubuntu installation you have to select that partition as your /home

I'm so addicted to it that I wrote an installation guide just to show off to my 'friends'. Even after months of not reinstalling, I can guarantee that I can install Arch from memory in less than 5 minutes. Arch is love, Arch is life

That's exciting! If you need any help installing, I did make an easier to understand guide, good for learning. Althought I recommend ArchInstall these days. I'm glad it can be the first experiment! I have a lot of work to do to get this thing stable. Depending on your DE/WM and other conditions, the script may throw errors so just be weary of that and don't think your system is messed up. It's just that I had no PC for 5 months and I've been back at coding for only a few days now. I rewrote the entire script and dropped probably 100 lines. Seems like I am understanding the logic behind it a lot more now and I should have a functional release this week https://github.com/wick3dr0se/Arch-Linux-Installation-Guide

You should definitely try Arch Linux! The documentation on the ArchWiki is amazing and the community is helpful. I wrote a guide on installing Arch Linux on 86_64 architecture devices and I also have a public repository on GitHub with a stripped version of my desktop with a script to automate the desktop enviornment setup. My setup uses i3wm, feh for wallpaper, thunar, xfce4 terminal, vim as IDE, very basic stuff. I made the guide, script just to make installation easier for myself, since reading the ArchWiki can be cumbersome to say the least

Check out my Arch install guide I recently made for self refrence and to assist a friend. I have instructions on there for GRUB/systemd-boot as boot loaders and NetworkManager/systemd-networkd for networking tools. I use systemd everything because it works very well and I've never had a single issue. Using GRUB in the past I had trouble removing it from multiboot setups and I'd have so much bloat from different themes and versions of GRUB. I prefer to install my boot loader directly in to my EFI system partition, mounted at /boot and then I can manage all my boot files and entries there. You should definitely check it out! systemd-boot auto detects Windows in the EFI partition. I would suggest using NetworkManager for a simple use case, it's configureless and setup just by enabling the service daemon
