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.

      That’s par for the course in the Linux community unfortunately.

        You will find unhelpful people in any group of people. Linux community is not special in that regard.
