So like other live USBs? What’s new?

NuclearDolphin@lemmy.ml on 12 Apr 2024 04:48 next collapse

I’m guessing it writes user data back to the USB

No, it does not according to the article:

The one thing to keep in mind, however, is that you’ll need an external drive to save your work. As Dynebolic is a live distribution, saved work is lost when you reboot.

Nah, it’s just a live session ISO with a bunch of media creation tools.

I used to work off a live USB with my data in it in the early aughts in college, where finding a public access computer was easy and laptops were expensive and bad. Nothing new.

I guess the full stack of content creation tools. Other distros don’t have it in the ISO afaik

I’m pretty sure early versions of Ubuntu allowed you to mount your USB rw and you could install whatever on it.

Com username btw.

Isn’t that basically all Linux distros?

A lot of them these days yea. But this was one of the first. Came out 20 years ago, could run on the original Xbox and had a great set of media creation tools. I don’t think there were any other media creation focused distros back then.

Fromthe same guys that brought you tomb.

So, this like a Debian live USB with persistency enabled and tools for create people pre-installed. What else is new?
