From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Has anyone successfully set up a live boot of Linux Mint with persistence on a USB drive, similar to how Tails OS operates? I'm looking to save files and installed applications across reboots. If so, could you share your method or any guides you found helpful? Thanks!

It's not when the post is literally answered in less than a minute with the bare minimum of effort...

lmgtfy always was needlessly unfriendly, but in the age of search result enshittification, it's even lost the excuse of technically providing a good solution (at least in cases like this).

Creating a live USB with persistence is lengthy and even the decent tutorials out there vary greatly in their suggested approach, making it perfectly legitimate (even for non-beginners) to ask for guides that others have found helpful.
