Create a live Linux USB drive to get started with Linux

 

  1. Download a LiveCD from the distribution you choose to try. I am keen on openSUSE so I go to https://get.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/?type=desktop#download and download the KDE LiveCD


  2. Download balenaEtcher from https://etcher.balena.io/


  3. Launch balenaEtcher and choose the ISO and USB disk and click the Flash! button 

  4. Boot from the USB!
