I know about Clonezilla and copy pasting partitions with gparted, but can I just use dd to copy a partition with batocera to a USB stick and will it then boot from the stick? Do I have to set the boot flag or take any other steps?

Thank you for any tips.

    You mean tearing?
    As in video screen tearing?

    There is also tar which is a very common archiving system, so tarring=archiving

    Stay away from debian/ubuntu if you really want to learn linux. They dictate how you do things so much you will never learn how to do it.

      I’m on mind, which I think is Ubuntu but tbh while I’d love to learn I think it is all just too much for me with my workload. I’m enjoying tinkering but I’m getting nowhere.
