Hello, at first i would like to point, that this is my first time trying to use linux, and also first time trying to do something more tech’y and serious than uploading mods into the game, sorrey.
To the point…
Im trying to temporary use my external usb drive as a testing place for the manjaro, then mayby switch from windows The thing is that i can’t find iso file to makie the bootable drive, witch im assuming (witch the help of a rufus) is the only way to setup a new system. I was trying to use different proggrams and different files, but no succeded :c
Thank you in advance, and also Im sorry about english, i will try to write it better if you can’t understand me.
Hey, @alchoni i, welcome to the manjaro forum! I see it’s your first time in linux! So I think booting from a usb may be hard and risky for you as you don’t know much. So i suggest that you use VirtualBox. Don’t worry, it’s not as risky as it sounds. But first, i need your hardware specs! If you don’t know how to get that than go to Start menu > Windows Administrative Tools > System Information.
Awesome! That’s the spirit! only those with such philosophy success!
Hmm… Well all you need to do online classes is a browser right? What do you think linux is?
Well, if you want to boot it from usb, then you couldn’t save your progress on it. You would have slower performance than you would expect. And if you had problems installing on VM, then use a pre-installed instead! You can download pre-installed virtualbo VM(s) from OSboxes.org. If the problem wasn’t about installation and something else, then tell me!
Yeah, Im just afraid that something will broke, or more possible I will broke something
Then, maybe i will just backup my things, and setup manjaro normally after todays online classes, is there anything i shoud know before that haha ?
If you break something, don’t worry. Linux community (us) is so dedicated we will fix it for you. You will just sit back and relax. Eventually, you will fix problems of noobies to linux
You didn’t have to do that. Use the preformatted text widget(Ctrl+shift+c). Then paste the link.

Nooooo! You don’t just go inside the drive and look for an .exe file. That’s not how it works. Guessing that you used rufus, check out this video. if something doesn’t add up then tell me.
