Linux Distro For Use On A Flash Drive
Linux Distro For Use On A Flash Drive
School is starting up soon, and I want to install a stable distro to a 64GB flash drive that i own will remain stable while booting onto at least 2 computers (my home PC for maintenance and my School laptop for, well school).
I was thinking of just using Debian, but wasn’t sure if it would work well in terms of compatibility with my requirements.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I had Manjaro Linux on my 128GB pendrive and it worked completely fine. I guess you can install any distro because thumb drives are only (mobile) disks after all. Just remember that your USB lifespan will shorter because there's a lot of saving/reading in process

Never really got manjaro, never got around to it on my distro hopping spree.
Isn't it just arch underneath?
It is
it's arch but they have their own repo and hold back most packages for a week to make sure they don't break something before deploying them, with moderate success, their main particularity though is to have attracted the hatred of arch users since their creation and even mentioning the name will get you a full lecture about how they're eating babies and selling their body parts

If they would just remove access to the AUR it would solve some things. I used it for years before just getting the itch to distro hop. It worked just fine for me, and I only used the AUR for a handful of things. Now, I'll either compile myself or use flatpak if it's not in any normal repo for any distro I land on.

there should be an authentication system certifying that your computer is using the right set of software before getting acess to the aur, it would be called the "os integrity api" and prevent the use of the aur from unapproved 3rd party software, all you would need to do is to log in to your verified arch user account and request a monthly aur usage token to be created and used by your registered system for the low price of 9.99
Would have been funny if they forgot to renew theyr ssl cert
somebody snapshotted it on Github – Manjarno
