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. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • 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.
    •

    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.

    I wish I could. I've been trying with mint but it won't boot into it except the first time. Then I had to keep formatting the usbs and one USB said it had 4 mb instead of the 32 gigs

    Try to format the USB, it will solve the issue.

    [–] Vrases@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I've been doing that over and over. But as soon as I download the iso file it goes to 4 mb being free space. On the manager it shows there is more space

    you sure that usb has 32gigs? might be scam one that says it has more space than it does (would also explain the boot problem maybe?) but you said it launched fine once so i'm not sure/a mint iso won't fit on 4mbs? but reformatting should definitely "reset" the usb... . have you tried it with a different one?

    [–] Vrases@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

    I've tried it with two different usbs. Maybe I should try a different brand. I bought both from micro center. I think the boot problem might be from having to copy and change a text for something in the files. But I can't do that with the small amount of space left

    [–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Sounds like you didn't prepare the USB stick correctly. Just use Balena Etcher to do it.

    [–] Vrases@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

    I did. I followed several videos but it wouldn't boot or I had to keep formating the usb
