I’m thinking of switching and will run mint off a live USB on my rig. Just need to find a new guide on setting up persistent data from the USB.
what do you mean by persistent data
Booting to a Linux live USB doesn’t save user data right? I’m talking about installing Linux on a USB and maintaining data/configuration across reboots.
This way I can slowly build out my ideal environment with distro and apps. Goal is to document the process so I can replicate it onto a laptop permanently. Then my main desktop.

MX Linux- MX’s graphical tools provide an easy way to do a wide variety of tasks, while the Live USB and snapshot tools inherited from antiX add impressive portability and remastering capabilities.

forgot something.when you have created a live usb from mx linux with all your packages and
flatpaks you can install from usb .so you have always a backup with internet access that is fresh.
