found a pretty interesting documentary abt the NotPetya cyberattack on youtube!! Cybersecurity is mostly gibberish to me but it also peaks my curiosity...
@hottopic_wannabe you're halfway there if you use linux at least lol
@dushman still on windows for now... i'm planning to get linux when i get a new pc (mine barely works so i'll have to get a new one eventually lol) and keep this one on windows just in case
@hottopic_wannabe
Just install like MX or Mint if you want something ez to use and install
@hottopic_wannabe
OpenSuse should also be pretty good for a beginner
@dushman maybe i'll flash one of those into an usb and play around wih it... I can't really make any partitions on my hard drive, it doesn't have enough space, and just erasing windows without having experience on linux 1st doesn't seem like a good idea lol
@hottopic_wannabe
Install Ventoy on the flash drive so you can choose from several isos when you boot it up. It also allows you to just copy the iso's to the flash drive once it's is installed. It boots Windows, Linux, BSDs and a bunch of other OS's just fine.

Ventoy

Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO files. With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk again and again, you just need to copy the iso file to the USB drive and boot it.

@hottopic_wannabe
Once it's installed*
