Next time you feel the need to tell everyone how useful something is it might be good to include what it actually does so others do not have to google it themselves.
Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. With ventoy, you don’t need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly. You can copy many files at a time and ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them (screenshot). You can also browse ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files in local disks and boot them. x86 Legacy BIOS, IA32 UEFI, x86_64 UEFI, ARM64 UEFI and MIPS64EL UEFI are supported in the same way. Most types of OS supported (Windows/WinPE/Linux/ChromeOS/Unix/VMware/Xen…)
Because Wikileaks, Anonymous, Julian Asange, and Edward Snowden. Privacy (in digital data) are our own RIGHT to have as human has right to wearing any clothes so our bodies are not visible by public, and our government do not have to dictated what right clothes we should using or HAVE RIGHT to remove it from us.
In other perspective, people don’t realized that their own data can HYPNOTIZED them and create mental health issue that can’t be known only by our own mind. Consciousness is very fragile things. Still people pretend not aware and understand that…
Without saying why you are leaving Fedora, it's not really possible to advise you... whatever we recommend may have the same mystery issue you are trying to escape.
I’ve never had that issue that deleted ISOs would stay on the USB, not sure how you’ve managed to achieve that. Maybe you didn’t actually delete the files but put them to the recycle bin?
After having had a Nokia N900 they are a big disappointment. Especially from a performance standpoint. I have no idea why that is. Especially if I compare them to something like an old Raspberry Pi which can still give you a good desktop experience.
I still use my N900, basically just for ssh over wifi these days. It is so so so much better than typing on a virtual keyboard, especially in a terminal where I have keyboard shortcuts set up for home/end/pgup/pgdn/tab/etc. The original Nokia battery from 2009 is still live and kicking! The keyboard and slide form factor were great. Even the resistive touch screen, when used with the stylus, is very accurate.
Ubuntu in the early 2010s. Installing flash player to get YouTube working.
It took me more than 10 years, but I am finally windows free. Linux came a long way in such a short time man.
Which DE do you use? Sadly, on KDE Debian is quite bloated but there’s a trick, I deselected KDE when installing Debian.
Naturally, I booted into a blackscreen but after entering my credentials I ran the following command: sudo apt install kde-plasma-desktop
I rebooted into a beautiful and minimal Plasma desktop, it doesn’t even have a calculator but it still comes with a few questionable applications installed. From there I just set up flathub and I’m all flatpak.
I used this page, check the page for your favorite DE/WM: wiki.debian.org/KDE
qalculate - the most powerful calculator I’ve seen. There are qt, gtk and cli versions of it.
moreutils - collection of tools. My favourite is vidir, it opens directory structure in your terminal text editor, so that you can rename multiple files easily.
When I first tried Linux more than 10 years ago, it was SUPER exciting to just get YouTube working. With fiddling with graphics drivers and installing flash player and all that. That feeling was great.
Also I just hate big corpos spying on me. To me using Linux or rather just open source software in general still feels like a tiny act of rebellion. I think that feeling will never leave me.
I hate all of the spying that Windows is engaged in now. What really pushed me over the edge is that Windows started opening a full page Office 365 add in my browser every time the computer woke up from sleep. I couldn’t find any information about how to stop it and eventually just said “fuck Windows” and installed Linux. That was about 3 years ago. I still have Windows as a dual boot because I need it for Fusion 360, and the piece of shit still does the O365 add that I can’t get rid of and now constantly tries to trick me into upgrading to Windows 11, despite the fact that I’ve already said no about 10 times. Fuck Windows piece of shit spyware/adware masquerading as an operating system.
Used ophcrack back when I was a teen so i could learn my parent’s windows password and fuck around when they were asleep. Then I figured just using live cds was cleaner (no browsing history to delete). Then once they upgraded, I was given the old pc to nuke and pave as I saw fit. It was a lot of fun outsmarting my parents in the wee hours of the night, not that they were terribly tech savvy.
Literally any Debian distribution with the exact same window manager service you were using in Fedora would be essentially as if you never switched away at all.
I know I know, I am sorry. Just started using it a few months ago (through Organic Maps on iOS), and honestly have started using it more than Google/Apple Maps. This is a good reminder for me so get off my ass and start contributing.
