From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think I destroyed a USB stick back in the day doing this shit. be careful they don't lock the stick and if they do make sure you use the program to wipe the stick ASAP before you forget what program you used to make it.

I have a ventoy stick for this exact reason, just copy iso to stick, no need to burn a new one every time.
