I cant run Linux on this PC, it is my sim racing / gaming rig I am trying to create bootable media for use on other PC's old used stuff, core2duo, Athlon 64 X2, old i3 laptop, etc. anything i5 or better I run windows 10, thinking Linux would be better on the older stuff

HA! yup same here, boxes of computer stuff I got cheap or free! surprising how many people are afraid of used computer stuff, killdisk the drives and good to go, same with bicycles, motorcycles, cars, trucks, anything I can take apart and put back together building computers is easy, its...

latest version of windows 10 Linux subsystem for windows (ubuntu) from windows store Linux mint cinnamon 64 19.2 from the link at the top of this page

how exactly do you follow step 3 when you can not get past step 2 ?????????????? I have tried doing this a dozen times over the past few years with no success eventually giving up and just loading windows instead not because I prefer windows, but because I am left with no other option the last...

I cant figure out how to get the Linux mint download into "Windows Subsystem for Linux" that I installed from windows store and "control+shift+n" no longer works in windows to create a directory I can create a directory and name it ISO, in windows subsystem for Linux, but I cant get the file...

I have been thinking about building the windows XP gaming system I never had, as there are a few old XP games would I enjoy playing again, (Pentium 4 with stock graphics and 1 gig ram, wasn't all that great an experience) I am thinking core2duo, 4 gig ram and a GTX 280, because an i7 and GTX...

I wouldn't mind a nice 86/BRZ/FRS, (I think the FRS are cheapest on the used market) but for now I will stick with my 71 MGB, wire wheels, chrome bumpers, and no top!

so you are saying the mistake was using "MV" mv linuxmint-19.2-cinnamon-64bit.iso when I should use "CD" ? cd linuxmint-19.2-cinnamon-64bit.iso

if I must repeat myself, I guess I must repeat myself (also clarified the OP) "next I found Linux in windows store and installed it another search resulted in "mkdir" to make a directory in Linux, so I created the directory and named it ISO"

I had to clear out a bunch of old PC's, needed the room, I wound up scrapping most pre core 2 duo stuff, kept one Pentium 4, and an Athlon 64 X2, just because. anyone want to buy an old Osborn series one, or a Kapro 10? just kidding, they're going on the trebuchet kidding kidding I'm just...

perhaps a couple Prescott, Cider Mill, or Athlon/Athlon X2 ?

started with windows 3.1 on a 286, stayed with windows until XP support ended, then switched to Linux, never used Vista or 7, went back to windows when 10 came out, primarily for gaming, but I have a bunch of old LGA 775 stuff so I thought it would be interesting to try running Linux on them...
