I actually bought an USB stick that repeatedly fails to boot any Linux Distro. Have to test that one.

Do other OSes work on it?

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nothing afaik. Kinoite, NixOS and some more

Would Android work on it? It's related to Linux.

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 1 points 9 months ago

Android is not made for Desktops in a ton of ways. Most projects are at most on Android 11 so they are not usable.

OS’s

OSes, my dude. There is absolutely no pluralization that uses an apostrophe, so keep that in mind.

Incorrect.

Apostrophes are used to denote plurals for lowercase letters. Like if I said "Missippi has three p's in it."

so keep that in mine.

*Mind.
