DESCRIPTION
Dow load and boot ISO or IMG images from distrowatch and boot them in a virtual PC environment. Currently the app supports about 90 different linux iso's out of the box but feel free to use this tool to test your own iso's (windows 10, 11, PE, etc). This is my way of attempting to inplement what 've learned in the past 10 months with stuff that I already know well. I hope you find this interesting. feel free to leave me a comment /thumbs up even hatemail is acceptable at this point. if you hate it please tell me too :)
