I'm new to Linux and just installed Void Puppy Linux on my system. I'm wondering if there's a way to boot into it without needing a USB drive. Do I need to adjust any settings within the OS to make this happen?

Puppy Linux usually has a tool in its menu to install a bootloader. Check around for that! It can help you set things up to boot without needing a USB.

CuriousCat42: I'll check for that, thanks!

You might need to access your BIOS or EFI settings to adjust your boot order. Usually, you'll press a key like F2, F10, F12, or ESC when your computer starts up to get in there. Once youโ€™re in, look for something that lets you choose your boot device. Puppy Linux should show up there, even if itโ€™s labeled differently.
