These PC In A USB Ads Are Obnoxiously Cringey And A Legal Landmine

Did you know a USB storage drive is a PC??? Me neither but in todays video we take a look at a company that thinks just that, and tries to sell you it. This company called Xtra-PC sells a very misleading product.

It gets worse, they also sell them for close to $80 just because of more capacity. Depending on the brand you might get 64 GB for a lot less than that. The thing that makes me cringe is that there are gullible people who would believe all of that advertising. There are people who don't know any better and might think it would speed up their PC. Make no mistake, Linux is great for those willing to learn to use it and there are many distros of it out there, some of which take up hardly any space. If someone wanted a good OS for web browsing that may be something for them to consider. There are even distros for older hardware going back to 386 or 486

The usb concept is ok but those drives especially if they're junk will have low life expectancies, and its not really a computer, considering there's probably a lack of storage on top of that, no cpu or gpu, they're not single board computers.

Downloading RAM is not necessarily a SCAM. Perhaps they are talking about RAM compression. Some software in the 90s did this. Perhaps, they are talking about a memory manager that removes pages of RAM and pushes it to the HDD. This one is not a good idea and you should let the OS handle that. It is much cheaper to just buy RAM. I think 16 GB DDR4 kit is just 100$ now.

Based on my experience with this distro, I'd say that you can simply rely on the GUI to install software and never have to use the command line. To install a package, all you need to do is double click and it installs, just like in Windows. Even Ubuntu and Linux Mint aren't this easy to use.
