Musings is Fun & Politics — Tech is just Tech 
I’ve been piddling wid Linux since 1996, and even tho Win11 Pro is my primary OS I still enjoy piddling wid, testing, and learning about Linux. In this modern world most of us already use 2-3 OSes – maybe without even knowing it, so checking out one more OS isn’t going to be that difficult, IMHO. 👏👍👌🙂
It’s FOSS has a great article by Ankush Das – “Meet the Techs of Tomorrow Where They Are Today”: A Conversation With Stu Keroff:
Am no expert USB ‘Techie‘ but I do know what ‘Desktop Duty‘ is — it is the performance I expect from ‘My Computers‘, other hardware, my OS, and other software (to a lesser degree).
When I transfer a 4.46 GB Redcore.Linux.Hardened.2301.Sirius.KDE.amd64.iso from a download folder to a 128 GB USB (NTFS format), I don’t like waiting for 2-3 minutes – or more in some cases. Here’s an example of the different Write speeds between a 128 GB SanDisk Ultra and a 128 GB SanDisk Extreme PRO®:
This Ubuntu Cinnamon 23.04 review will explore whether Ubuntu is posing as a Desktop OS for average users. I hate OSes that slow down my workflow wid annoying “Authenticate” popups, and Ubuntu Cinnamon 23.04 “Lunar Lobster” is just another Linux Enterprise OS posing as a Personal Computer (PC) OS.
A personal computer (PC) is a multi-purpose microcomputer whose size, capabilities, and price make it feasible for individual use. Personal computers are intended to be operated directly by an end user, rather than by a computer expert or technician. Unlike large, costly minicomputers and mainframes, time-sharing by many people at the same time is not used with personal computers. Primarily in the late 1970s and 1980s, the term home computer was also used.
Chromebooks’ Chrome OS doesn’t have annoying “Authenticate” popups, my Computers wid Win11 Pro don’t have annoying “Authenticate” popups, and my Android phone doesn’t have annoying “Authenticate” popups. All more secure than the Linux Open-Source operating system/s.
FlashBoot is still quite new to me — 3-4 days of testing ‘n using it have shown me how much I DON’T know about it, but at the same time it has continued to work amazingly well for a new user like me. 😊 Have tried different ways of installing it to a USB, and plan to even try installing it to an SSD at some point later. However, for this FlashBoot 3-part series, FlashBoot 3.3n Pro is going to be the final part. See Part 1 & Part 2 for more info.
The FlashBoot 3.3n Free offers all that is really needed if you don’t mind customizing the Windows installation from scratch — as one would normally do. However, the FlashBoot 3.3n Pro version offers you the option of creating a “Bootable clone of Windows 8.x/10/11” — in case you would like a cloned version of the Windows setup you’re now running. The above pic shows the options that Free & Pro offer in step 3) of creating a Windows To Go USB thumbdrive. That article in listed on the main Windows 7/8/10/11 installation page — which is using an older 3.0 version, but basically the same steps. See Part 1 for differences ‘n obtaining the Free application and/or Pro zip files.
