[23:26:52] bigfatnoob Hi all. I have a laptop computer. it has no OS. i want to install linux onto my laptop I'm on a public windows 10 computer. it won't let me run EXEs downloaded from the internet. How can I create a live thumb drive with just copy/pasting or using command prompt?

[23:36:51] bigfatnoob /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER bigfatnoob IJGd55Ik5Q30bFDi

[23:45:37] bigfatnoob heather yeah, i just realized this public computer has even locked down cmd and powershell.

[23:46:02] bigfatnoob i wish i could just "expand" an iso and then do a simple copy-paste onte tho thumb drive

[23:48:01] bigfatnoob heather yes i can mount the iso

[23:48:25] bigfatnoob i see a bunch of wierd folder names

[23:48:31] bigfatnoob like ".disk" and "boot"

[23:48:48] bigfatnoob ok. done

[23:48:57] bigfatnoob oh, wait. "fat EXT". i'll dbl check

[23:49:46] bigfatnoob sorry, the windows formatting options in the dropdown list are 1) ntfs 2) fat32 (default) 3) exFAT.

[23:50:01] bigfatnoob heather ^

[23:50:05] bigfatnoob ok

[23:50:26] bigfatnoob does allocation unit size matter? it's currently set to 32 kb

[23:50:39] bigfatnoob yes, the mount iso has "efi"

[23:52:37] bigfatnoob heather so i just select-all and drag and drop onto the thumb drive?

[23:53:22] bigfatnoob wow, this is easy!

[23:53:28] bigfatnoob I feel like a hacker

[23:53:29] bigfatnoob ha ha

[23:54:29] bigfatnoob heather thanks. https://imgur.com/kqgIbiS

[23:54:57] bigfatnoob heather, why do you have the [3] before your name? Are you a moderator here?

[23:55:09] bigfatnoob the "at"/"@" symbol

[23:55:23] bigfatnoob 5 more minutes

[23:58:23] bigfatnoob i have 3 usb thumb drives. i'm gonna put linux onto all 3 just in case

[23:59:20] bigfatnoob is it politically incorrect to ask which distro everyone here is using?
