  • I don't actually know if anything you try in the test state saves to the flash drive, sorry! But I know that if you try it, then shut down the PC and boot it with the drive removed, it will return to your copy of Windows like nothing happened since the last time you were on Windows.

    I don't understand what you mean by "Mint version" and "distro version"; they're the same thing, I think.

  • Yes, you can try a copy of Linux from a USB flash drive and then shut down the computer, pull out the drive, and boot right back into Windows as if nothing had ever happened. The installation process is typically a desktop icon on the Linux distro; if you don't touch that icon, then it's all temporary. Glad to be of help!

  • Whats a skills or hobby worth learning that will be helpful down the road?

  • Just checking: are you aware that you can try Linux on your machine without installing it? You can use Balena Etcher to write a disc image (.ISO) to any flash drive (that's the one catch: you must own a flash drive), and plug it in, have the PC boot from the flash drive instead of its own internal parts, and test-drive Linux entirely in it.

    Alternatively, you could run it in a virtual machine via Oracle VirtualBox, which is free, last I checked.

  • every car dealership should BURN with a fire so bright the sun becomes envious.

    This just reminded me: I recently installed Octos (animated Windows wallpapers), which has an interactive solar system visualizer, and it was just incredible to see how far away the sun is from the Earth and yet how precisely dependent we are on it for its immense heat, and how much the temp on the planet changes every winter like these months with just a bit more distance.

    TL;DR: this is truly a powerful metaphor lol.

    To get pedantic, you'd have to test that out a whole bunch before even coming close to theory level, lol!

  • Fascinating. I suppose a proximity sensor is better than a camera, at least, right? Did you cover it with a napkin or something? I've gotta try this app out now...
