- Arnavion 3y agoWrite throughput and flash lifetime are still a concern for that.
- kwhitefoot 3y agoLaptops typically have 8 GB or more RAM which is a lot more than you need of r a lightweight OS; perhaps the rest could be used as a cache that is periodically flushed to the USB. For most uses of such a device there isn't much writing going on anyway.

- doubled112 3y agoI was using portable apps off of a USB stick what must have been 15 years ago. I thought this was the future back then, but now we all just carry entire computing devices with more storage than that and call them phones. https://portableapps.com/ https://portableapps.com/ I can't believe it's still in development.
- mxuribe 3y agoFor me, my portable Apps phase was about 10 or so years ago...and it felt so awesome! I also thought it would be the model for the future! :-)
