I did the Unthinkable-Installed Linux on a NTFS Partition

I did the Unthinkable-Installed Linux on a NTFS3 Partition.

It is NTFS3 which is not allowed under Debian. 

I would report to you if the attempt is successful.

This is a good lesson to Manjaro who cannot count the number of EXT4 partitions in my NUC.

This is also a lesson to Omarchy which cannot coexist with other  Linux distributions.

All these jobs are done with PYTHON and Python must be a must for computer addicts.

Yes, it is a success and even Debian now reads the NTFS files. 

This is all done by Gnoppix.

I can remember Original Knoppix in spite of using Reifers file system could extend the partition in the USB to NTFS, if I wanted.

It went dormant in 1991 and my old Knoppix USBs cannot boot on my NUC.

It is revising Original Knoppix but through Debian Base. 

It comes from Singapore.

It let me configure WiFi on live session but when installed it would configure only the Ethernet which I do not use and by doing so, asking contribution of money for additional services to which I will not contribute.

 I was and I am totally against their AI policy which probably Microsoft is using (that is why NTFS3 is supported) with their copilot snooze on Linux users.

DO NOT Use it.

Do not sign with them. 

Shun it like scrapies or  leprosy.

However, it has ton of Linux applications including Synaptic Package Manager and is is good for a newbie to learn what is in store in Linux.

KDE version is huge but XFCE version is light in applications. 

Installation is awfully slow.

Why I do not know.

This distribution works on /Root Permission which is dangerous.

Gparted does not work on installation.

A single packages can be removed when running.

Guy who produced this may have worked with Gnome Team and Mark Shuttleworth but he has forgotten Golden Rules of Linux.

I am erasing it NOW.

Only thing that came out of Gnoppix Saga is I got to know there is something called NTFS3. 

That is the Minimum Knowledge about Windows, I have now.

I am back to normal.
