  • Yeah, download the ISO, use a media writer to put it on any kind of removable media, plug it in, reboot, and you’ll have a fully functional desktop in a few minutes are running in memory. This is the way it should be tested, and it gives you the option to test as many as you want to find the one that fits for you.

    The only caveat is that it’s running completely in-memory as I said, so if you plan on testing out installing software to test, keep in mind your usual amount of RAM available will be slightly reduced.

    If everything looks great, then you’ll have the ability to install directly, without harming your Windows partition. PLEASE BACK YOUR STUFF UP ANYWAY.



    1. Yup.

    2. I use Audacity because it’s super simple and has a familiar interface. Ardour is a DAW with way more features and mixing available, but a lot of people just use ONE as well for the “one and done” method. VSTs are going to be hit or miss depending on what they do and how they were written (many are windows-specific), but there are other things available for replacement if needed. Link.

    3. NTFS is fine to read from on Linux, but I wouldn’t suggest read/write because NTFS will 100% corrupt itself over time. Stick to either read-only from NTFS and save elsewhere, or copy them to a new destination and work from there.

    4. There’s a lot of info on these on Linux. Sounds like support for the Scarlett hit with kernel 6.8, so you’ll be fine there. The Behringer EV1 should be standalone hardware, meaning it does it’s work with the PC.

    You can just run a LiveUSB of Fedora or whatever and try all this stuff out to be sure with no commitment. You could also get a second drive cheap and make this easier to test out fully if you really want and make the switch from dual booting a lot safer.

    Either way, you have easy options to test all this out before even installing.





  • I beg to differ.

    Putin has been throwing people out of balconies and windows for a few decades.

    Hitler murdered millions.

    Mussolini had his own populace murdered based on their politics.

    Saddam Hussein murdered thousands, along with Gaddafi.

    China is doing this right now with tens of thousands.

    Israel is as well.

    I can go on and on. This is dumb fucking writing that is trying to ignore history and recent events. GTFO with this bullshit.
