I’d like to install/run Kicksecure from my “EAGET USB 3.2 Solid State Pen Drive” as described here. (Im not set on Kicksecure, just read about it on privacyguides; open for suggestions! I just want something … well secure and easy to use.
… However, my Windows PC does not recognize the USB with Debian as a bootable medium.
What I did:
- Download debian-live-12.5.0-amd64-xfce
- Flash it to USB with balenaEtcher
- Try to boot from it in all possible ways
I also tried other Linux distributions like Mint and Ubuntu … nothing gets recognized on that USB, expect Tails. After it recognizes it as UEFI OS and I select Harddisk Mode.
Tails is amazing, love it! But I just don’t really need Tor, and mostly I need to use an App that will simply not connect via the Tor network and cannot be configured to do so.
Thank you very much 😊
Edit: Not everything can boot on windows I guess. But in my case Ubuntu suddenly could after turning off the PC and remove it from its power source.
… did you seriously buy a USB drive from AliExpress? ಠ_ಠ
yes and my pc too 😅
Don’t do that. Many malicious actors can put malware on Aliexpress tech products and sell it to get credit card information, create a botnet (similar to gaining remote access) or spy on you for the government
Ali is known for shipping questionable products at times. I won’t tell you not to use them, but do understand that there’s some risk involved to get those lower prices.
You don’t know how far people from poor countries can go to save money. Some of my relatives literally buy everything non-critical there
