Making A Bootable DragonOS Linux USB Flash Drive: The Tutorial That Nobody Asked For?
TUTORIAL STARTS AT 10:20 AND FINISHES AT 31:24
Are YOU tired of your Linux virtual machine performing poorly!? Are the frequent USB drop-out getting YOU down!? Well, look no further because bare-metal Linux is HERE!
I am one of the many Linux enthusiasts out there who doesn't 'daily' a Linux distro on their PC for everyday use. A workaround for not dedicating an entire machine to occasional Linux use is to install your favorite distro into a virtualization host in Windows. However, in the case of RF hacking and software defined radio, the Linux software tools for this purpose typically require a more high performance and powerful computer to handle the demanding workload. This is where a user of a virtualized Linux instance will probably encounter degraded performance.
Software defined radios and other USB-attached peripherals are commonly utilized in the hobby of RF hacking. The USB passthrough feature of a virtualization host is the underlying method of attaching a physical USB device to a virtualized instance of Linux. While the technology is amazing, it hardly performs to the level of a bare-metal Linux instance having direct access to the USB bus. Frequent drop-outs and malfunctioning SDR's are commonplace.
Join me in this video today, where I detail all the hardware and software needed to construct a bootable USB thumb drive containing a persistent, native installation of DragonOS FocalX Linux. Providing the target machine has Legacy BIOS (CSM) support, this USB thumb drive can be booted on just about anything and is a great way of running Linux on bare-metal if you aren't a daily Linux user, like myself.
Yeah, the video is long. This stuff takes time. Deal with it! Thanks for watching!
