    You take the green USB, it's Ventoy.
    You click the wrong option in the list, and suddenly it's GParted.

    Plot twist it was really clonezilla.

    People that chose the "red" drive ... Once you install Ubuntu a mysterious shaman will once again introduce you to the red and blue choice, ... well, I mean, not exactly, it will be just a giant bag of mixed ~~pills~~ drives for different distros and the ominous warning be like "you only really need to take one, but there is no actual limit".

    I cannot even download Windows 11 ISO on my network, I am (my ISP is) blocked by Microsoft. So, problem solved, it's just red USB.

    Microsoft blocks people from downloading stuff all the time for unknowable reasons. You have to either reset your IP or go through customer support to fix it. I did the latter and they did not tell me why I was blocked in the first place.

    Linux Mint: The Better Ubuntu (tm)

    [–] Starbuncle@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

    I found that Pop!_OS (another Ubuntu fork) worked better with Nvidia crap out of the box. They both seem pretty good.

    [–] Zink@programming.dev 1 points 5 hours ago

    I might have to give that one a try.

    My work machine with mint has an Intel iGPU and a discrete nvidia one and things seem pretty good, but I don’t really play games on it.

    Hi I'm some mf

    Day 1,095 of begging Autodesk to put F360 on Linux so I can ditch windows

    I know, they won't, but I'm gonna keep asking anyway

    That red USB looks exactly like my Linux installer one, recently upgraded to Mint 22!

    Ubuntu logo is a trinity but you're not getting laid

    The rest of us should just do what the transbians do and sleep with each other.

    And plugging highly suspicious USB drive into it...

    [–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 34 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    Reminds me, back in like, 2007, Nine Inch Nails did a promotion for their new album where they left "mystery" USB drives with media from the "future", themed from album, in public areas at their shows. People couldn't wait to find them and jam them into their computers to piece the story all together.

    [–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 day ago (4 children)

    The next album is gonna be about, trojans, viruses, worms, RATS (not the one with the rubber room)

    And a 40minute PSA from your IT admin telling you DONT PLUG RANDOM STUFF INTO YOUR COMPUTER!!

    I use the exact same usb stick for my Ubuntu installs. 🤜

    [–] Vrases@lemmy.world -3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

    I couldn't pick red if I wanted. Something happened with the USB when I flashed it and most of its space was unusable so I could use linux. And the fact I can't use games with anti- cheat, I don't know if that changed though

    [–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

    You can play most games with AC. There's only a handful that don't work. Kernel-level AC, for example, obviously won't work if they don't release a Linux version (which you should probably avoid installing). There's also some Chinese games with their own AC that isn't supported yet, and that's a choice they've made.

    Game pass cloud works in a browser on linux too.

    [–] Fish@midwest.social 42 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

    Why are both of the USB drives red?

    [–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 81 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

    Because choice is an illusion.

    [–] SirHery@lemmy.world 23 points 20 hours ago

    Both are Linux.

    How come with bsd it's more of a dig your own hole sort of adventure?

    [–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

    Depends on how fond you are of shark attacks
