- Even though the Ubuntu 18.04.3 ISO was released after August 1st, 2019, it does not include this bug fix, so creating a persistent storage Live USB of Ubuntu 18.04.3 (or Linux Mint 19.) using Rufus 3.7 and newer won't work.
- A live CD can be used for a quick demo or test of Ubuntu. Try Ubuntu without any changes to your machine! Windows or whatever you use normally is unaffected after trying this and then rebooting. The standard Ubuntu Cd can be used as a LiveCd as well as an installer. Live mode is the default option when booting from CD.
Once the live USB is created, you can proceed with testing Ubuntu in live mode.What you need to do is restart your computer. At boot time, press F2 or F10 or F12 (depending upon your system) to access boot menu.
Creating a bootable live CD/DVD allows you to Install Ubuntu, or another Linux Distro, on your Computer or even just try it without installing it.
Note: Ubuntu 12.10 onwards requires a DVD, due to the increase in the image size it will not fit on a CD.
