Chrome Upgrade Issue

Did you ever come across this: live usb - How to use YUMI on Linux? over on askubuntu? The 'answer' is there for historical purposes (they say), and of note is the comment that contains:

MultiSystem does not work properly within Ubuntu 16.04 or later.

Yes, I know about Mulitsystem. I was using Yumi from Windows 7. I've been told that Yumi works for the most part with Ubuntu based distros and that you can install from it, but maybe not with 18.04, I don't know. Things seem to be going better now though Kubuntu seems a bit quirky for me. I certainly had a lot of weird issues with my first install, may have been caused by me or not, don't know. Just seems some of the older distros I was using were a lot easier work with. Mint's KDE was a pleasure for the most part, once the KDE part was learned.

Just for kicks and grins, having a stable Kubuntu now, if I download another Linux to try it out I will more often than not just use dd on the CLI to "burn" an .iso to a thumb drive - after verifying the hash, of course. Various Linux GUI utilities have worked in the past for that purpose, but the maturity is not always the best or consistent. I have an older Toshiba laptop that I use to guinea pig other distros. Unfortunately, that laptop has a 32 bit cpu, so every day those guinea pig opportunities are becoming fewer.

Burning isos to a thumb drive is slow and error prone, compared to booting from the iso directly. If the computer you wish to boot doesn't have anything else to boot from, make a bootable thumb drive with a boot loader that can boot isos, like grub. Then, you just have to copy the iso to the drive. If it's big enough you can have several isos on it, and also use the drive to copy files about.

IMO, liberating.
