Boot It

Boot It is a Linux loader designed for use with disc images placed on an SD card or USB Device. It bypasses the need for partitioning by allowing the user to run a disc image in almost exactly the same way as one would run a Linux live CD, with the notable exception that the user can actually make changes to the "disc" during their Linux session. It can also boot normal Linux partitions. Follow the More Info link at the bottom of this post for installation and usage information.

    if you can use it, sure use it. but I don't want to see you struggle and make no progress at all
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I can fumble my way around vi but use nano whenever possible. I never use vim because the system either already has nano on it, or it's a docker container that doesn't come bundled with anything other than vi lol

    It takes some getting used to, but once you learn it, it can be extremely productive. You don't have to use a mouse, only the keyboard

    A few years ago when I had covid and was stuck inside all day, I learned linux and vim out of boredom. I never looked back. That was the first time I installed Arch
  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    How did you all learn linux? Was it job related or just for fun?
