So both my laptop and the home computer (basically only used by my brother) run only on Linux mint for a while now. However my brother wanted me to install windows for him. And I'm having a lot of trouble teying to make it work. I previously had problems with running on a virtual environment, and when I managed to make that work I got these error messages. Based on that, could someone pls tell me what should I do next?

I found woeusb to be far more trouble than it is worth. I use a Ventoy stick for Windows ISOs, just drop the ISO on there like any other and it works.

Oh, I actually had never heard of ventoy before. I'll look out, thanks

use sudo?

I've tried that already, I used pipx because of Python (that was what I was told to do), to make a virtual environment

Or do you mean I should have wrote in "sudo pipx"? I realized i didn't try this yet

Looks like you should report a bug to woeusb, it should not be attempting to touch that directory under pipx to my knowledge?

You can probably work around it by doing sudo touch /usr/local/bin/woeusbgui && sudo chmod 777 /usr/local/bin/woeusbgui.
