burn it in a usb stick before you nuke it to install linux

This is very very important unless you have another windows computer around. Took me a whole day to figure out how to properly burn a windows install USB from linux. It isn’t straightforward.

That’s good. A lot of communities have been slowly dying 🫤 I’ve been using Mastodon more and more but it’s not the same.

+1 this, it is amazing. The scripting features are the cherry on top.

I gotta resist the urge… I have two Pis idle 🤦‍♂️

This is pretty darn cool to use occasionally. Neat!

Paper wasps in the southwest are chill too. A wasp box is a neat idea, ty!

I just want to reiterate that it is a major pain creating a bootable Windows installation USB drive on a Linux or macOS system. It’d be prudent to create it before installing Linux or make sure you have another Windows computer accessible to you to avoid some headaches if needed.

In this meme it’d be another teletubby, it’s closed-source.

Embarrassingly enough, wanted to install Ubuntu on an external drive. It was early, still in bed, accidentally erased the notebook’s main drive. Thought I might as well give it a shot. That night, tried to go back to windows. Turns out that creating a bootable Windows bootable USB is nearly impossible from MacOS and Linux nowadays… gave up after a few hours.

So, giving Linux a forced try. I’ll probably make a Windows installation USB as soon as I can get someone to lend me their Windows computer. If it takes long enough, I may not though 😞

Wasn’t that the person that hacked a few instances a week or two ago? @LMAO@lemmy.world

This!

I have one of those round straw hats myself 😅
