I am just about to set up my new Linux machine, which will be used to convert analog video and audio to digital video and audio. Is there any reason why I shouldn’t run the system off of a live USB stick (say, a good quality one from Sandisk), that is, without installing Linux on the hard drive and not setting up a boot partition, a system partition, and all that?
To tune the question slightly: what about USB SSD? I thought of doing the same thing for a different PC. (For HTPC.)
Wait a minute… Would you know, I even happen to have an unused chassi 🤣
