I use mint on a usb boot. Still have windows 10 for certain programs. Making a bootable usb works well, but has major limits.
What kind of limits?
I am a noob, so a lot of the limits are user. Specifically, i had problems with my router configuration after a lightening strike killed my modem. Also installing new programs while using a boot usb was not possible with the way i had set up my Mint usb.
But the plus is i didn’t have to partition my computer to run two OSs. Also, i could use windows while i was learning Mint. It only cost me a usb and time.
Get usb. Format usb. Write Mint iso to usb Profit
MX Linux here, installed on a 256gb sandisk extreme pro usb stick which is usb 3.2 ver 1 that is basically as fast as a sata drive when reading or writing from it.
