unetbootin VS howdy

format your USB drive and then you can retry with your software again, or you can try with a piece of software I know works successfully. https://unetbootin.github.io/

Linux on a USB large enough to hold your files. Linux does not care what OS made the file. You mat be able to Boot from the USB. Access the BIOS and try it. UNetbootin can also be used to load various system utilities. https://unetbootin.github.io/

I think UNetbootin could create a bootable installer directly from your current drive.

This is what you want. Bootcamp is the old way to do it. You want to use This for making a usb

use rufus or unetbootin to make setup the drive

You want to test out? Get a live image. You can put it on a bootable flash drive, too (e.g., unetbootin). Changes to the computer then require your explicit consent. (If the Ubuntu partition is encrypted, you might not access the data from an other Linux except with the credentials, though.)

I have sometimes had problems with ubuntus and mints image writer. I have found the dd method to be more effective. Since the dd command has the potential to be dangerous you really want to make sure that the usb destination location is correct. dd will write over any drive you tell it to indiscriminately! If the dd option is not something you feel comfortable with there are other options as there are other live usb image writers out there for linux. I have used and liked unetbootin

you can even use facial recognition with IR webcam

I just bought a go 2 (not laptop go) this weekend and installed fedora 37 on it. Almost everything worked without the surface kernel except the camera requires v4l2loopback kernel drivers to create a gstreamer device for apps that don’t support libcamera. There were only old versions available in copr but no surface kernel headers available so I couldn’t build the kernel modules. I switched to ubuntu 22.10 and got similar hardware support but more available packages. I’m still trying to figure out how to get the IR sensors to work so I can use howdy for login/sudo. https://github.com/boltgolt/howdy

First, you'll need to install Howdy.

I've tried using Howdy, but that doesn't seem to work. It's probably because of this issue

Just like with digicams, it is not just about the sensor, but also the image processing itself. Should we omit the IR sensor to replace it with a better firmware-based noise-reduction system? But what about "Howdy" / "Hello" users, if we go this route?
