Can’t wait for the virus that uses this to replace a windows install with a Linux install that’s riced to look like windows. Will the normies even notice?
I was running netboot.xyz to the same effect until they stopped updating their images.
Sounded really interresting until I saw that this thing was vibecoded.
Imagine something as potentially destructive as software for wiping and installing an OS being AI generated!
What the hell. I sure ain’t letting a Python script in Alpha stage written with Claude mess with my PC’s partitions. You can totally create a small FAT32 partition yourself, get the ISO’s content in there and boot from it. No USB key required.
Also the take that it’s not Free Software if you’re buying a USB key is so plain wrong. It’s free as in freedom, not free beer. You still get to pay for the hardware, but with free software you get to own it too.
Yeah the “free operating system” stuff is wrong af. The guy clearly doesn’t understand what free software means.
always thought it would be fairly simple to have a Windows program that setup a temporary boot to a Linux ISO that gets stored to RAM. (So that the drive can be wiped for install as needed) Debian based distro ISOs (or maybe just Ubuntu idk) load to RAM with “toram” kernel parameter.
I used some chinese partition tool to rearrange my partitions years ago that did this. It was sketchy as fuck but it worked where I couldn’t find another tool that would do what I needed. Can’t remember exactly what the problem was but something to do with moving/extending the windows partition that the usual ones I knew of wouldn’t do.
New strat for migrating unattended laptops at the office just showed up!
If you were using Linux in the 2010s you knew this was a thing
this is actually very cool, and a potential qualitative jump in ease of use
