Frequently asked questions
Practical answers about bootable Linux media and this catalogue.
What is a bootable Linux USB drive?
It is a USB drive prepared with Linux installation or live-boot files so a compatible computer can start from the USB rather than its internal drive.
Can I try Linux without installing it?
Many Linux distributions offer a live mode. Availability depends on the specific distribution and edition, so check the product and distribution documentation before use.
How do I boot from USB or DVD?
Usually you restart the computer and use its one-time boot menu or firmware settings to select the USB drive or optical disc. The key varies by manufacturer.
Will Linux work on my PC?
Compatibility varies by distribution, hardware and firmware. Check the distribution’s requirements and, where possible, test a live environment before replacing your existing operating system.
What happens when the EU product-link CSV is added?
This website is already structured for it. The importer matches products and fills each external buy link while keeping prices displayed in EUR.
Are the distro badge images official logos?
No. The catalogue uses custom abstract distribution badges created for this website. Distribution names and official trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.
