Maybe you're just retarded.

get pkg linux.exe
install pkg linux.exe -r

Of course every random computer should boot from every random USB with every random USB prep tool.

Get The Fuck Out. You don't need Linux and should not be interested in computers, period, since you also don't get basic hardware knowledge or USB flash drive prep knowledge which also applies, holy fuck, to installing Windows. Take your shit to Geek Squad, then KYS only after killing all your relatives that your DNA may be cease to defile the earth you mongtarded shitbag.

You had time to find a Stallman pic to highlight how stupid you are. This is why I stopped helping people install Linux. If you are smart enough to figure it out you won't pollute the internet with examples of your ignorance.

If Windows is too hard, buy a Macbook. Apple deserves you.

old laptops CAN boot usb drives (at least hp ones ive seen)

Enable Legacy USB something in BIOS
save - exit - reboot
enter BIOS again
USB Drive should be available as boot option
