I’m an educator, and my Windows PC crashed during my first period class.
I had a cinnamon mint USB drive in my bag. I booted to it, and it saved the day!
I don’t have anybody to tell just how much of a godsend that was, but I figured you guys might appreciate it!
When I say “crashed”, I mean that the operating system became corrupted or unusable without any recovery options beyond formatting and a clean install.
