i am in the process of moving all my data off my laptop, which is currently win11 (gag) so that i can format it to ubuntu and copy stuff back off.

windows has crashed once already, just copying files.

i cannot wait to be rid of this shit

@Viss USB boot to ubuntu and finish the copy?
@ancients no, beause my usb stick with the stateful install ive been using to test is ABYSMALLY SLOW. i chose the wrong microsd card to run a linux distro on, and its so slow that regular ubuntu apps will shit themselves thinking the process is crashed because its hungup on disk io
@Viss @ancients https://netboot.xyz let's you netboot stuff like installers or System Rescue CD, IIRC
