1. I use what I'm used to. That's Fedora. 2. I don't plan ahead, so I just use the Fedora live installation medium
3. Your distro is probably as good as Fedora. 4. Yes, you can install to a USB drive and have that drive function as an emergency tool. But I find that I don't use the emergency tool enough to be worth that investment in time. The main advantage is that you can make changes to the system and they persist. 6. What I miss on the Fedora live installation medium: - gparted - my private SSH keys - my notes files 7. My Fedora Live Installation stick has lots of free space. I've never figured out whether I could add a file-system to store persistent state. 8. There are systems to allow multiple installation images (.iso) to live on a single stick. I haven't tried ventoy. --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
