I’ve been trying to write this post for years—kept thinking it would be a really really long one, which might have been the reason I never started it or even came up with a title until today. 🤔😉

CMT goes WOKE – pulls Jason Aldean’s ‘Try That in a Small Town’
CMT decides they would rather be WOKE than ‘Country’.
CMT pulls ‘Try That In A Small Town’ and Twitter responds w/ #CMT #BoycottCMT #tryTHATinAsmallTOWN #IstandWithJasonAldean
CMT becomes totally Political and now supports Gun Control – I got Jason Aldean’s ‘Small Town’ canceled by CMT: gun-control activist:
A prominent gun-control activist is taking credit for getting Jason Aldean’s controversial song pulled from Country Music Television for being “racist and violent.”
Brief on CMT – CMT (American TV channel):
CMT (originally standing for Country Music Television) is an American pay TV network. Launched on March 5, 1983, as Country Music Television, CMT was the first nationally available channel devoted to country music and country music videos, with its programming also including concerts, specials, and biographies of country music stars. Over time, the network’s programming expanded to incorporate original lifestyle/reality programming, and sitcoms aimed at audiences of all walks of life.
Porteus 5.0 Cinnamon – Part 3: Booting the new Fat32 & Ext4 USB’s Porteus 5.0 installation

This is Part 3 of this Porteus v5.0 series, and I am sorta gearing the series towards MS Windows users, but still mindful of interested Linux users. I have been using Porteus Linux since March of 2022, but have found it to be the most interesting Linux OS I have ever used (since 1996), and it has already become my favorite ‘Working‘ Linux OS. I had been using the Porteus 5.0rc3 until Porteus 5.0 was released on July 3rd, 2022. The 5.0 release candidate 3 was fine, but the Porteus 5.0 final release has been smoother ‘n snappier than 5.0rc3 was. Porteus’ Developers/Team have done an excellent job!
In Part 1 we covered creating a fat32 ‘Live‘ Porteus USB, and then using its GParted app to prep a Target drive.
In Part 2 we prepped a Target drive wid two partitions – a 360 MiB fat32 partition & an 114.26 GiB ext4 partition. Then we used the EFI, boot, and porteus folders – located on that fat32 ‘Live‘ Porteus USB to create the new Porteus 5.0 Cinnamon installation that had a fat32 ‘n an ext4 partition.
- This was the best method I could come up w/ for any interested MS Windows users, who might not have access to apps for creating ext4 formatted partitions.
Porteus 5.0 Cinnamon – Part 2: Installation – Fat32 *PLUS* Ext4 or Fat32

This series is mainly for potential Windows users. In Part 1 I mentioned two options for installing Porteus v5.0 onto a USB: 1) using a fat32 formatted partition. 2) using two partitions – a smaller fat32 formatted partition plus an ext4 formatted partition.
As most Windows users know, formatting a USB drive is limited to a size of just 32 GBs max when using fat32, which is why fat32 formatting is generally found on the smaller USBs.
In this ‘Refresh‘ of the original Part 2 in this Porteus 5.0 Cinnamon series, I am going to cover three Steps in creating various versions of the Porteus 5.0 Cinnamon OS – a ‘Live‘ version which will be used to create the other two versions (or Steps).
Porteus Linux works great on a 32 GB USB…heck, the updated Porteus-CINNAMON-v5.0-x86_64.iso I downloaded was just 359 MBs…1 MB smaller than the 360 MB one I got a few days before.
No *BLOAT* on Porteus Linux! I’ve recently tested it on a 16 GB USB w/ no problems ‘n plenty of room. I even formatted that 16 GB USB w/ Two Partitions – a fat32 plus ext4 partitions.
