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?
I’m still looking for a place to put the spinning drive though 😅 this micro-ATX chassi, while really practical in many other aspects, doesn’t leave much room for HDDs. 🫠 I could just leave one “standing” on the bottom of the chassi if I don’t have to secure it with screws 🤣
You do have an asus prime case. The smallest is the 201.
Here is the manual showing where to mount three 3.5” drives:

You bolt them to the bottom.
Holy crap that is/looks hilarious 🤣 And also thank you 🥰 now I won’t have four SATA ports doing nothing. 💪
What case? I can’t tell myself because you blurred out the info…
You may end up needing to use attached storage either in the form of a nas or some kind of usb bullshit.
E: asusprime ap201?
