How's performance relative to an internal drive? Historically when I've tried that it was kinda painful (there's a reason why "live" Linux distros used a ramdisk even after the advent of USB drives), but that was back before USB Type-C was a thing, so maybe that's fast enough that it'd at least be on par with a traditional HDD?
- follower 5y agoFWIW I've used "live" Linux distros running from a USB 3.0 flash drive stick (non-USB Type-C) on a variety of hardware and it was entirely "usable" if not ideal in terms of performance. (At least as a short term thing.) So I would imagine non-stick drives would work okay.
