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.

    Do yourself a favor and get an external hard drive. You’ll get much better results and can run almost any distro with it.

      Definitely this.

      I gave up on thumb drives as they are kind of trash. External NVMe drives are affordable, and the speed difference is BIG.

      Even better get a NVMe enclosure and an internal NVMe drive.

      Enclosures are $20 and you can get a 500gb Samsung 970 Evo for $35.

      Smaller, lighter, cheaper and faster than any off the shelf portable drive you could get. I have one and it fully saturates the USB C 10Gbit port on my motherboard.

      Not really. If you only need to use a browser and some text editors you don’t need anything better.
