I’m considering switching to linux but I’m not a computer savvy person, so I wanted to have the option to switch back to windows if unforeseen complications (I only have 1 pc). Is it just a download on usb and install? And what ways can I get the product key or “cleaner” debloated versions.

    Hum, on retrospect, my ISO might be just corrupted. I have never tried to redownload it.

    I never know gnome has a image writer tool, and would you please let me know what “dd” stands for?

      1. Open up gnome disks

      2. Find the drive (the usb drive not your boot drive)

      3. Click restore image

      4. Select the ISO

      5. Click next and start

      Wait for the grass to grow. Once it is done either eject it or run the sync command.

      You also can use the dd is a command line utility. Keep in mind it doesn’t have any safety protections and can blow though important data in the blink of an eye
