Hello, I'm a new user from Windows. Doing a bit of a test run. I chose not to install just yet so I can poke around and see how things feel. My first bit of confusion, is how drives work.
I know for anything to show up, the actual partitions need to be mounted. So absolutely nothing shows in the file search other than the default locations.
My ZorinOS install media is on an 8GB flash drive. However when I go to the properties of /home, it's saying free space is 13.9GB? It's not saying the device it's linked to, so I'm not sure where this is coming from, unless it's just giving an amount being used off RAM.
Booting from a flash drive is all done in RAM. If you restart you will lose any changes made, files saved, etc. The main purpose is to give it a quick test drive to see what it looks like, and so on.
Oh this is new for me! I didn't know that the /home directory was on the RAM. But what if a user tried to install anything larger than the RAM size? Would it also use the thumb drive in that case?
Is it also the reason why the UI still works (except opening apps) even when the pen drive is removed?
(Hi @Aravisian, I'm so happy to be back after 1 year since my last post. How are you doing sir? )
I have been experiencing that Life Is a Journey....
It would run out of space once the RAM was filled. The LiveUSb is a "Try Zorin" Demo, not intended for persistent use.
It might crash once the RAM was filled. I have never tested this, lol.
Though I'm currently pursuing my bachelor's now (), I can understand this realisation too Glad to know you're still active!
I have actually tried that when my laptop had 4 gigs of RAM. I tried downloading an ISO of another distro within the test environment. for me, it told me that storage was full like halfway of the process. I thought it might have exhausted the pen drive's storage. But well, I do know now what had bottlenecked it
