  1. Hey Dorian. A few years ago I would sometimes have issues booting from USB and burning iso's properly to USB. I started making it a practice to reformat my USB sticks everytime prior to dd command. Gparted > select my usb > delete all existing partitions > new partition table (msdos or GPT) > new partition (entire usb to fat32). I haven't had an issue since.

  2. Q4OS reminds me of what Korora is to Fedora or Gecko is to OpenSUSE. It's an awesome Debian base but not stuck to the "free only" policy. As for stock, plain ol' Debian, there is no "non-free" software (google-chrome, nvidia drivers, codecs etc...) You can install all of these things but Debian doesn't make it easy as where Q4OS makes it very easy. The packages tend to be older in Debian stable (and testing for that matter) but it is super rock solid and will run forever in production.
