there are some disadvantages to doing that. USB sticks are not meant to be used in that way, and so they might die earlier than a regular SSD drive or even solid state M2, I think it is, drive, whatever that is. And so you've got to be a little bit careful that your whole Linux may go away as the USB drive dies, but it's a handy way of being able to carry your computer around in your pocket, you know, in something that's the size of a USB stick. So that's one way of doing it. Rather than even using the live USB stick with persistence, which is the equivalent of this, just get a big enough USB drive and install it on there. So give it a try. USBs have dropped in price quite a bit. I mean, I think the smallest one I have is a 64, but I just bought a 128 GB one from ScanDisk, one of the better ones, and I think I only paid like 20 bucks for it. Yeah, you can get some really large sized ones for a decent price now, decent compared to what it was when they first started making them. You (27/49)
