As one wise person said: they should've said unix users instead lol
Linux is not based on unix, it is unix like.
Here are some of my followers!
I joined: 5 years, 9 months, 24 days ago (31/03/2018)
I have: 479 followers
In total, I have attained: 1,403 loves, 1,145 favourites, and 33,731 views.
Fun Fact: If my account continued to gain followers at a similar rate to right now, in 14,210 years I would reach the number of followers griffpatch has today! Try to imagine how many followers he would have then!
Thank you everyone!

Is there any way to view what operating systems I've got installed on my computer and delete them easily?

It works for me, and your hardware was probably broken before using Etcher. balena etcher once broke 2 of my USB drives for 3 months
on Windows and Linux
why would it need to be compatible with windows? oh right, resetting it use rufus, it flashes stuff in a way that's compatible with windows too, otherwise the drive might disappear

I don't understand partitions so I didn't install Zorin, I only live-booted it. I didn't want to mess up my laptop.
Anyone know how to use this?

Doesn't Zorin have a “boot alongside” option? I don't understand partitions so I didn't install Zorin, I only live-booted it. I didn't want to mess up my laptop.

(#553)Sometimes, a OS will have a “Automatically partition drive”. So you could try that option.Doesn't Zorin have a “boot alongside” option? I don't understand partitions so I didn't install Zorin, I only live-booted it. I didn't want to mess up my laptop.

Yeah Windows and another OS dual booting is a bit risky - make sure you have backups before attempting a partition/install. I don't really understand the partitioning menu, and, like I said, I don't want to break anything.

(#546)I've tried that, there doesn't seem to be a partition as far as I can see.To delete an OS simply delete the partition the OS was installed to. Is there any way to view what operating systems I've got installed on my computer and delete them easily?

So I installed Ubuntu (instead of Zorin– I like it better) but it says “no wifi adapter found” when I try to connect to wifi. I have a mediatek wifi adapter (I think).

(#559)Nevermind. I just uninstalled Ubuntu after a lot of work, including a scary bios terminal (fixed by changing the boot order). I thought I almost bricked my device; I will not be trying it again any time soon. Windows 11 is more than enough for me.
