If you want to use Ubuntu Linux regularly after testing it, you have several options:
Using a USB drive
1 – Ubuntu on a simple USB drive: the system runs directly from the USB, but all changes and files are lost after each restart. This is suitable for testing Ubuntu but remains limited for daily use.
2 – Ubuntu on a persistent USB drive: this solution allows you to keep your settings and files after each shutdown of the PC. However, technical limitations may affect performance.
Ubuntu on a virtual machine
3 – Run Ubuntu in a virtual machine like Virtualbox on Windows. A practical alternative but it may be less smooth than a native installation.
Installation on a dedicated PC
4 – Install Ubuntu alone on a computer: an ideal solution for users who do not need Windows. However, this requires purchasing or using a second PC.
Dual boot: the ideal solution
5 – Install Ubuntu in dual boot with Windows: a stable, simple, and cost-effective option allowing you to use both systems on the same computer.
Follow the steps in the video below to successfully complete the installation. Make sure to strictly follow the order of instructions to avoid any problems.
