Hey if you can get my laptop to boot from a liveusb then by all means

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I'm guessing it has legacy bios which then means you need a cd/floppy.

Back when it was relevant I would use Plop it would magically boot any machine to usb that wasn't capable yet.

It's probably under ten years old so I didn't think of that. I assumed windows was making it more difficult somehow. Now to find a writable disc...

First of all, "Read This Fine Manual." Secondly, I don't want people to use Linux. I'm not advocating anyone to use Linux, your best happiness costs $139 and that amount is included in the price of the device. Third, it's not for you to teach me good manners.

Wow, little girl saw the keyword "RTFM" and took offense....

Maybe you should read the manual on how to reply to a Lemmy comment

[-] lord_admiral@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Please do it first.

Obviously people won’t respond well to being forced into something unknown or intimidating.

However, if you had a way to get it in front of them, many normal PC users would be totally fine and even have a better experience. Just go with a well supported distro made for convenience and a windows-like desktop. I think ordinary Mint Cinnamon is the obvious choice to start with.

I had the most horrible experience trying to install it on an SSD, I'll ramble about it in some sub-lemmy to vent out 😭

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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.
