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!
These are the instructions at the mint forum.
I don’t do this thing, so it’s a real question. If I were doing it from scratch, my instinct would be to go with the partition.
I don’t think you’d even have to make your own image, although you’d be mounting /home by hand every time if you didn’t. Hm. If you built your own image, you could mount everything as an overlayfs, and persist even application installs.
