Thanks to my business going well with shipping many usb flash drives in Indonesia, I managed to make multiboot many distros previously I could not. Most notably are Deepin, openSUSE, Slackware which are not supported, aside from the ones automatically supported to make multiboot with notably Ubuntu family and Fedora, not to mention others. Now as I have many notes about them I want to list them out here in one place. Happy booting!

You want to make multiboot?

Learn first about using GLIM tool and then learn one among these tutorials.

Distros

• Slackware
• openSUSE (use Aguslr's tool)
• OpenMandriva 
• Deepin
• KNOPPIX
• Parrot OS
• PCLinuxOS 
• Trisquel
• Vector
• Zorin

I hope more GNU/Linux distros coming!

In late 2019 I successfully ship multiboot drives with Zorin OS as one among many operating systems within them. I have made the articles in making them multibootable most notably openSUSE, Deepin, and Slackware, as they were actually not supported by GLIM multiboot maker. However, I forgot that I have not made such article about Zorin as I thought I have. Now I remembered it in 2020 and this is the article you can learn once again to make it bootable like what I am currently doing with my latest Zorin articles. Enjoy!

On your computer, with GIMP you can emphasize pictures in colorful ways. You can make red rectangle or ellipse to focus your readers to a point in a picture. Of course you can use blue, green, orange, and other colors too. It is easy to do once you know how. I present you here a new video again followed by short explanations, an example, and exercises. Lastly, don't forget that this tutorial is a part of GIMP Guide for Author. Happy editing!

Here are my privacy and security tips with Zorin OS everyone can practice:

Search engine - Startpage.com - visit this privacy focused search engine and click to make it default instead of Google.

Tracker protection - uBlock Origin - install this addon to your web browser and it will block all advertisements as well as online trackers.

Browsing security - HTTPS Everywhere - install this addon too and automatically every connection to websites will be forcefully encrypted.

Password manager - KeePassXC - install this program from software center and with this you do not need to remember your gmails, facebooks, and blogs account details anymore except one password to this program only you can open.

Email secrecy - GnuPG - with this emails will be encrypted in convenient ways and only the true recipients can open them. Evolution is the client preinstalled on Zorin.

Forgetful system - Zorin LiveCD - run the OS uninstalled on any computer from within a flash drive installation media then you get an anonymous system ready for every activity and this system wipes out all stored data once computer restarted.
