Endless OS and Debian 11

I downloaded Endless OS version 4.1 and tried to make a bootable USB on my Linux Box.

I could not.

Then I explored it's website and realized that USB booting is only supported on Windows machines and has a windows exe boot file.

As a last resort I copied them to a USB but it won't boot.

Ironically it takes over the hard drive and won't dual boot.

I have Endless OS on my laptop and I cannot upgrade to version 4.

I would NOT try it.

If I do that I have to reinstall all the applications I have already downloaded.

Instead the OS, I updated the software and it took almost 24 hours (VERY Slow) and some applications could not be updated.

This OS is not for the weak hearted.

Its plus point is it has many Android applications which a Linux guy like me cannot install on Debian base.

By the way, Debian 11 is fabulous!
