I didn’t realize you can have an OS ISO and other programs on the same USB stick. I thought the live boot ISO had to be the only thing on the stick (or multiple ISOs using Ventoy).
Yeah I have some decently speedy USB-A 3.0 drives, they’re essential to me these days. Although I’ve filled them with too much crap to use as a boot drive for anything lol. They’re only 400MBps, but weren’t expensive.
One thing I’ve noticed though, it ends up saturating a pair of USB ports in a lot of computers. If I have a second thing in an adjacent port, eg a mouse, things get screwy (mouse movement gets choppy or speeds throttle).
With Ventoy you can have additional files on the same partition. However Ventoy scans everything on that partition, so additional files can slow it down. I recommend creating a directory, say named “Files” and put an empty file “.ventoyignore” into it which makes Ventoy ignore that directory and all sub-directories.
I use the Murena /e/ OS (developed in France). It’s android-based, but totally degoogled (more so than LineageOS). Happy with it so far. I also installed Ubuntu Touch in an older phone, but it’s definitely not ready.
It’s on the bottom of the page on web, it’s a log of moderator activity. Can’t view on jerboa, and probably nobody programmed a notification like that, either not having time or just nobody thought to
I only engage through Jerboa, how do I know that an action was mod action to then go to another access portal to hunt down why my post has disappeared? Seems counterintuitive.
I tend to name mine after their physical appearance, though I’m leaning towards space-related names now.
I’ll copy a Discord message I sent someone while explaining my naming scheme:
in chronological order: my very old laptop was black and grey so it was Batman my first build had orange/gold fans so it was Aurum my next build was black and white so it was Mono my current build had lots of RGB so it was Nova (like supernova) my home server has the BitFenix wings logo so it was Flight my laptop is sleek and pretty speedy so it was Comet
I’ve been running Debian 11 and now 12 on an HP EliteBook 840 G5 (i7 8550U) and everything works out flawlessly out of the box. When I say everything I really mean everything, even special keyboard keys for brightness, volume working after install. Battery lasts way longer than under Windows and the computer runs much colder.
