hey everyone, im new here, i use linux on virtualbox on my windows OS previously, but now i want to boot linux on ssd, is there anyone that ever do this give me some advice
 


Suggesting to play more on Virtual Box... Enable Secure Boot EFI in virtual machine, download an iso file of the Windows 10 , make 2 partitions on the VM ( if you have idea what is that a partition :) ) , install Windows 10 on one partition , then boot the VM from a Linux Distro iso image .... and try to figure it out how to install it on the 2nd partition alongside with Windows .... Good Luck ! ( but the way you put the question tells me that either you wanted to joke on this forum or you are not going to install a Linux Distro on a "real" computer ...)

All manusiahiu asked for was an answer to his question.
Your answer is not particularly informative

Sorry, man, if my question seems like a joke because I actually want to do dualboot but my laptop storage is not enough, and booting from a flash drive is very slow, so it occurred to me whether it is possible to boot Linux on an external SSD, and if possible, are there any special SSD specifications, that's why I'm asking, maybe someone has already done it
 
@CelDePeScaunHDS if you haven't got a helpful solution, leave the thread and choose to ignore it.

Welcome to linux.org @manusiahiu and good luck.

OK so lets talk about speed, this will depend on your machine, your speed will be controlled by your USB bus if you have a USB 3 then it doesn't matter what the speed rating of the SSD is, it will still only run at the bus speed of the US port, for example, if you have a USB2 port there is no point in using a usb3 pen-drive. Your best bet would be to increase the size of the internal storage.

Addendum

Once again the same question and answer comes to me. First get the specifics from 'HardInfo' which comes pre-installed and ready on many "spins" available for LIVE (no install) evaluation, next if those lacking details allow it then consider a YUMi USB drive; for example on my UEFi-compatible Dull noteBook it's 'YUMi-exFAT', actually based on 'Ventoy' (itself valorizing GrUB2...) and so far there's a couple dozen .ISOs that stick onto it i think. I've attempted to document dealing with my recent purchase out there:

Dell Inspiron 15 3520 as replacement for Insignia NS-P11W7100 (2024-May-19)​

This "puppy" might cover those basic needs:

'S15Pup32-22.12-240919.iso' 417M3 (2024-09-19)​

It loads in « RAM Only » mode from my favourite USB drive, which helps to manage with the USB speed limitation if your RAM size is sufficient, while there's 'HardInfo' v0.6 alpha ready to run.

:cool:

I really don't know and want to ask, is it possible if I connect an external SSD not with USB but with Type C, is that possible?
