linux usb key recognized in window 10 (bis)
Now I have that usb key with porteus on it SOLVED: linux usb key recognized in window 10
Essentially, I have on that usb key a first win32 partition (on which the porteus boot folder which refer to the porteus system on the second partition, this second linux is ext2 and there is finally a third partition ext2.
I use it on a supposedly very performing computer:
ASUS Gaming Thin and Light Laptop, 15.6-inch Full HD , Intel Core i7-7700HQ Processor, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 128GB SSD + 1TB HDD, GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
How come porteus is it so slow to boot and to load programs when I called them?

Re: linux usb key recognized in window 10 (bis)
I just added a linux swap, it seems a little bit better.
Although, I did move linux guest and vbox modules to optional, they really slow down the bootup process.

Re: linux usb key recognized in window 10 (bis)
With any USB thumbdrive, unless it is USB 3.0, booting and especially the changes folder settings is always slower.
I always try to make a porteus live system on the hard drive, then I have a backup system with that PC in any case. (Usually I boot up Windoze like once, or twice a year, not more than that.)
Good choice to keep out the changes folder or saving changes in a container, I never do so, it takes a bit of work learning which settings and files and folders you want to save into something like a e.g. 990-rootcopy.xzm module, but it is rewarding in itself to learn more about the system you plan to work with for the next months or years.
Just my 2 cents on all that, but there are several reasons why I refrain from using a changes folder or a save container, speed is one, added security is yet another.

Re: linux usb key recognized in window 10 (bis)
I am working with the poor man install (frugal) since the creation of porteus.
This is not a container as I work with linux file system. Usually, yes I get a basic change folder and convert it into a module to have my favorite tweaks handy.

So, you are saying that you indeed booted from the internal hard disk, and the usb thumbdrive is ... used for what exactly, then?

Re: linux usb key recognized in window 10 (bis)
I have frugal on the toshiba satellite z930, my less recent laptop.
Recently, interested by VR (virtual reality), I bought the ASUS Gaming Thin and Light Laptop, windows 10, with an Oculus rift. This with the intent of doing VR therapy for different type of psychological difficulties with french and canadian softwares.
The ASUS has the DT50 usb key with 3 partitions.

Installing directly linux on the ASUS Gaming Thin on the second disk wich is hdd. I read somewhere that you gain speed of access if you partition the hdd into two equal partitions. To be able to boot EFI, I had to interspace these two partifion. I have a 1TB hdd on sdb:

Re: linux usb key recognized in window 10 (bis)
I heard from several sources that starting cylinders of a hard disk are always the quicker ones, so I try to get my Linux swap partition as far to the beginning of a hard disk as I can, often there is the need to keep sda1 as WItlessOS hidden start partition (a usually small one), so the first possible Linux swap partition usually is sda2francois wrote: ↑13 Jan 2019, 20:54Installing directly linux on the ASUS Gaming Thin on the second disk wich is hdd.

However, I have no idea how the starting cylinders of a hard disk are always the quicker ones is effective in contrast to your you gain speed of access if you partition the hdd into two equal partitions theory.

On older systems the drive's partition table is usually at the beginning of the drive.

Here is a thread on pros and cons of partitioning hdd:

But maybe we should start another thread. We might be off topic.

Re: linux usb key recognized in window 10 (bis)
A good link francois. It explains the concepts well. My hdd is partitioned; EFI, OS, Data, Backups along with a couple of system recovery partitions.

I always use linux file system with linux. No container for me. But turning the save changes folder into a module is my way. So if there is corruption with later changes, I have basic modifications.Rava wrote: ↑30 Dec 2018, 17:51With any USB thumbdrive, unless it is USB 3.0, booting and especially the changes folder settings is always slower.
