Making a terminator USB flash drive: ventoy + netboot.xyz + bitlocker

Tue, 23 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Greetings!

I recently posted a poll on Telegram, and the users of my channel voted in favor)

Today we’ll create a multi-boot flash drive for: installing Linux/Windows locally, installing Linux over the internet + a regular partition for files and + an encrypted partition for sensitive information (mounts natively in both Linux and Windows). So, let’s go.

Installing Windows Applications on Linux

Wed, 08 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Greetings!

Today I’ll show you how to run programs designed for Windows on Linux Mint 20, which we previously installed and configured.

I’ll warn you right away that not all Windows applications work correctly on Linux. It all depends on how complex and heavy the application’s design is. Nevertheless, a large number of Windows programs run on Linux without any problems, and today I’ll demonstrate this to you.

Introduction

There is open-source software for running Windows applications in a Linux environment — Wine. There are many articles on the internet about installing it on Linux Mint, and they all differ from one another. I’ve often come across non-working instructions and had to tinker a lot by hand. In this note I will try to describe a working, and at the same time simple, installation option for Linux Mint 20.

Installing Linux alongside Windows

Thu, 03 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Greetings!

Today we’ll be installing Linux alongside Windows as a second operating system.

⚠️ Warning

Right away, I want to point out that everything described in this guide, you do at your own risk. If you have experience reinstalling or restoring Windows systems, then you have nothing to worry about. But just in case, before you start, back up your important files to another partition, or better yet, to a removable drive.

Try Linux Right Inside Windows

Wed, 15 Dec 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Greetings!

Today I’ll tell and show you how you can try Linux right inside Windows. To do this, we’ll need to take a few steps, the hardest of which will be entering the UEFI/BIOS.

To run another operating system inside the current one, the so-called virtualization technology is used, hardware support for which is implemented in practically every more or less modern processor. Whether it’s a solution from AMD (AMD-V) or Intel (Intel VT). You can read more about virtualization, as usual, on Wikipedia.

Proprietary or Closed Software

Greetings!

A vivid example of such software is the Windows operating system. Its source code is closed, protected by copyright, and this OS is distributed under a commercial license. The terms of use are usually described in detail in a multi-page user agreement (which nobody reads) before installation.
