i might be doing it wrong, gonna close if i am just messing it ut, using a WoR externel hdd and also tryed a lineageos image, maybe they just dont work because of the partitions, auhhashshs

[Itai-Nelken]

LineageOS and windows don't work. Only OS's with the same kernel as the hist system work.

[Botspot]

Vdesktop can only run a few distributions of linux. Windows and lineageOS are out of the scope of this project.
