username checks out

I would like to point out that not everyone is from the USA. I for one come from Slovenia, where we have quite a good school system and a literacy rate of about 99.6%, compared to the USA with99%(source). I have no idea where you got the statistics. Can you maybe provide a source?

It seems Rufus is only for windows

I don't spend 200$. I spend more.

Yes, I will try. Thanks.

Tried Balena and it still didn't work, although it worked on another laptop.

well, I tried it w/ Balena etcher and it didn't work, but it did on another laptop. I believe the fault is in the old computer.

It is not the etcher's fault. I tried it w/ another device and it worked just fine.

I think I even had ubuntu installed previously, but I'll try Zorin maybe

Well, It is an old meme 🤷

Sure, I'll try. Thanks.

yes, ill try using balena etcher this time
