Wife gave in today. the 16 gig m.2 is just to small for what I want. A new 256 gig m,2 is on order.
there is 3 programs that I have been using that are very help full for a project like this.
1st is Ventoy2Disk . It will let you put multiple ISO on a single thumb drive and run them. not windows ISO's that I put in but others Heck yea .
2ns. is snappy driver. HUGE download! 40 gig. in a windows computer it will install all your drivers!
3rd . Hasleo WinToUSB, this is a nice program that will turn a windows ISO into a install thumb drive.
windows 11 was real slow on the thin client.
windows 10 was OK for you tube and internet stuff. game's NOPE
Windows 7 after drivers I ran out of disk space. tiny windows installs was a pain in the but!
Windows 7 looked very promising but I ran out of drive installing direct x9
Prime OS and Batocera, I was not happy with.
Linux Mint looks very promising also. I did not want to install Linux to my only M.2 drive. ( i do not know how to reformat a M.2 drive after a Linux install) Now I have a second drive coming in I might install .
I did build a junk PC from parts I have around and tossed Mint on it to learn about Linux. Mint is not that bad. every thing like icons , pointer and text is VERY SMALL! maybe because I am on a 50" TV. I am working on that now
