This is mostly not required. People don’t tend to write malware for Linux. Windows has a much larger attack surface and the people that tend to fall for phishing emails etc are not normally the people that are using Linux. I would say there is a much larger percentage of power users on Linux than Windows and these people would likely spot something is wrong before it is too late.
There are some anti-malware packages available but I don’t think you need one. Usual things like not authorising something from an untrustworthy source and understanding commands you get on forums before running them can go a VERY long way!
Yeah, that’s it. You may be able to press F12 or something to do a 1-time boot to USB or you may have to change the order. It totally depends on what PC / Motherboard you have. A quick Google search should help with this if you are struggling
I can remember back in the day when I used to change os regularly if you put a bootable dvd disk in and turned the computer on it would say " press any key to boot from dvd" so I’m guessing this is the same but with usb
We run Linux at work for use there on most desktop machines. For most tasks it’s just a GUI on a desktop that you can use to do stuff like install things, etc…
To be hoenst though, the only commands I would suggest learning how to do in terminal is installing/uninstalling applications. On ubuntu this is simply sudo apt-get install sl to install a program called sl.
One thing I have learnt when using different OS’s, is just to learn how to use their in-built search mechanism rather than where things are stored in the menus. This, for me at least, makes it 10x easier to jump between Windows, Linux, and Mac when I have to.
Go up to Hard disk and press enter, it should expand and show your hard drive and your SanDisk , click the SanDisk and save and exit .
Or
1 insert your USB key before entering the BIOS
2 Reboot and enter the BIOS
3 select ‘Advanced boot features’
4 select ‘HD boot priority’, select your key and bring it to line 1
I feel like I read something in recent years about Microsoft deliberately making it more difficult to boot other operating systems in this manner for computers that shipped with Windows 10.
Unfortunately this is just a hazy memory and I don’t remember the specifics, but it’s possible there may be additional hoops to jump through these days.
