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.

Check out the Immutable Versions of Fedora (Kinonite and Silverblue especially)

It can be done. Just don’t cheap out. A USB4-attached NVMe disk will be faster than a run-of-the-mill USB 3.0 flash drive, and that will run circles around some cheap $10 USB 2.0 drive.

Not all flash drives are rated for constant use, so be sure to have a backup plan.

Other than that, it’s a cool idea! Go for it!

Although I think tails is great, this isn’t the ideal use case

YUMI is a great USB tool that can install multiple bootable ISO’s onto one multi system flash drive. Pendrivelinux.com

Honestly I’d go with something that supports booting in secure boot mode like fedora or Ubuntu(direct derivatives maybe). And yes, install to am external drive if you plan on having persistence.
