These disk images may be used in a virtualized environment or on a physical machine.
Warning: For usage on a physical machine, take note that Nope OS is just a proof-of-concept and may contain bugs that could corrupt your system.
Booting a Physical Machine from USB Drive
Download the IMG disk image above and use for example dd
or
balenaEtcher to write the image to a drive.
