From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

UPDATE: issue fixed. My USB drive was probably an older format since after trying again unsuccessfully, I plugged it into another USB port which must be a backwards compatible port sonce after that it worked smoothly

It probably dropped down to usb 1 speeds. It would boot eventually but it would take an hour
