so I’ve had problems getting linux to actually setup properly but the functional preview on the boot USB stick itself works without issue, so can I just run it that way, or is that going to limit functionality in some way?

      I have been so used to windows where you almost have to reinstall the OS if you add a stick of RAM…

      I like the idea of having “it all” just on a stick. They are getting big/cheap enough and easy to duplicate for backups too…

        I don’t think that’s been true of windows since maybe 7 onwards, I’ve swapped windows installs between completely different hardware (Intel > AMD and several generations newer) without any issues, other than licensing freaking out, but that’s why other solutions exist lol.

        But yeah a USB-C SSD enclosure works fine as a bootable device, so you can have a portable OS with you.
