i know, cause youre in a VM 😄

and i use it on RemoteDesktop

honestly, I made a separate partition for it on my computer, but I couldn't get my usb drive to show up on the boot screen, so I just gave up and am just using a VM now.

I spent half a day downloading different software and trying different methods to get it to work.

did you go into BIOS?

yeah, and I took a look at the settings in there, and sometimes it would show, but wouldn't actually go to the ISO, and other times it wouldn't show at all

weird. ive never dualbooted it because im afraid it will destroy my windows install somehow

i would really use backup computers for all that shit

you just have to make sure you have another empty partition and that you are sure thats the partition you're installing it to.

diskpart can do that easily enough

Raspian wont let me do any writes to USB drives through terminal, even with Sudo

wtf?

<:GWcmeisterPeepoShrug:403295315685539852>

I guess if it werent for that security feature, if i accidentally had administrative rights i might accidentally write to my USB drive without meaning to <:think_hang:378717098903470080>

if i were on a mainframe computer it would make perfect sense

Theres probably some config file you can edit to enable that.

yep theres definitely a way to do it and i might eventually find it, but my RPi also corrupts its OS install if it loses power at the wrong time, so I keep having to start over from scratch

I only realized I couldnt write to USB after deciding never to save work to the device natively again

isn't there an SD slot on it that you can save to?

or is that the main drive?

The one good thing I've found is that the Arduino IDE and hardware drivers are easier to setup on Raspian than Windows, but half of that seems to be because for ARM Linux version of Arduino IDE they couldnt be fucked with making it install like a standard linux program, so it runs without install, and the install file is just a script that adds shortcuts to the dektop.

Yeah the SD card is the main drive

theres no BIOS etc and basically, when it's booting, it loads a bunch of shit it needs into RAM and then partially erases or rewrites important parts of the SD install, and if you lose power right then, it corrupts to shit

seems like unforgivably bad design to me, but im sure longtime linux fans are used to everything being terrible at all times

so if you cut the power in the middle of a boot, you fuck up the device?

thats the most likely time to have it happen but ive had it happen just from not shutting it down properly

I think you can mitigate this by partitioning your SD card in a particular way <:GWcmeisterPeepoShrug:403295315685539852>

i thought the RPi was gonna be the shit and the arduino was gonna be the $5 gay, but i had it completely backwards

turns out they're both gay

There are some things you can do with an Arduino and no components...

But they aren't flashy or impressive to noob teachers👌

Unless they consider flashing the onboard LEDs impressive<:high_iq:382980759012638731>

time to get new harddrive

only 183 gbs left

you have to actually know the hardware to teach it 😂 🔫
