2 You can run the OS from a USB in live mode with persistence: the system keeps running in Live mode but changes will be saved.ģ. You can install the OS to an HDD/SDD: changes will be saved. Likewise, a system running from a USB in Live mode and no persistence enabled, is a Live system uncapable of saving your changes across reboots you can try and install stuff, change themes, however, every change you made to the Live OS, will be lost upon reboot.
Thanks for all the help and encouragement!Ĭlick to expand.Just to clarify, a system running from a USB in persistent mode, is a Live system capable of retain changes you make to it across reboots install new programs, perform updates, customizations and so on. I'm itching to look around under the hood! I have this thing for knowing how things work and how to tweak them to my liking! So far it's not that much different than the Windows I'm use to. Oh, crap! I didn't disconnect the disk drive before starting this up! Is it apparent that my biggest reason for trying out Linux is to guard my privacy? I'm no expert with PC, but I have no doubt they could figure out what I'm up to! I didn't want to use a VM or partition the drive with Windows on it. I got a 128GB drive specifically for Linux. I have the full blown OS installed on a USB drive, persistent and live. Fedora looked like my best bet to do that right away without getting overwhelmed! I think that's how you say it? I wanted a system I could start using right away so I can get away from Microsoft. I'm running Fedora live from a USB thumb drive. I finally decided to just jump in and go for it. The app can even be used to flash firmware to BIOS or other destinations by just using DOS.My brain started spinning last night and my eyes got red looking around at all the distros and watching YouTube videos. This can be immensely useful while you're on the go or just need access to an OS for a temporary, isolated reason. Rufus can come in handy when you need to simply format a USB drive, install an OS on a machine that lacks a CD/DVD-ROM drive, or when you need to boot an operating system temporarily without intentions of actually installing the media.
The app is just over 1MB in size and is notably faster than similar competitor apps such as the Windows 7 USB utility, Universal USB Installer, and UNetbootin. Rufus is a standalone app designed to format and create a bootable USB drive for a large variety of ISOs.
