About this tag
Running Linux from USB allows you to test or use a full Linux operating system without installing it on your hard drive. This approach is especially relevant for Windows 10 users facing the October 2025 end-of-support deadline, as it provides a free and secure alternative for older hardware that cannot upgrade to Windows 11.

Common themes in discussions include using Linux as a lightweight OS for aging PCs, preserving system security after Windows 10 support ends, and exploring open-source options as a cost-effective solution.
