There are several ways to install Linux depending on your preferences and use case:
-
Live USB Method:
-
Download the ISO file of your chosen distribution from its official website.
-
Use tools like Rufus (Windows) or Etcher (Linux/Mac) to create a bootable USB drive.
-
Boot from the USB drive to try or install Linux.
-
-
Virtual Machine (VM):
-
Install a virtualization tool like VirtualBox or VMware.
-
Create a virtual machine and load the Linux ISO file to install it in a sandboxed environment.
-
This method is great for testing and learning without altering your main system.
-
-
Dual Boot:
-
Install Linux alongside another operating system (e.g., Windows).
-
Use a partitioning tool to allocate space for Linux during installation.
-
A boot menu will allow you to select between operating systems at startup.
