Yes you can, you *might* experience some fun in going from system to system due to hardware, but you might not.

USB would be the way to go over SD.

It will act as a normal drive.

If it's USB3 it will be fine for speed, but USB drives dont have the same lifespan as an SSD so it will degrade faster.

>>62099918
both will work
i have a full installation of Arch on a 64GB microSD card and it works really well
if im on my work laptop i use the sd card slot with an adapter
on the desktop i use an usb adapter
both boot like a regular hdd
you barely notice that its running off of a slower storage since most of the shit you do is in RAM, some programs take a bit longer to open but thats no biggie

>>62099943
I thought a USB would have a much higher read and write cycles then a SD card.

Drivers huh?
I didn't think think of that.

>>62100000
It definitely would, but im talking SSD's here.

(Also, nice get.)

Buy an 2,5" external enclosure and put an ssd in there.

Thank me later.

>>62100000
What about a Class 10 SD card? Or some superior class if it exists?

>>62100082
It needs to be more portable than that.

Like something you can attach to your keychain.

>>62099918
I just bought that USB.

>>62100084
That means it's a minimum of 10Mb/s write speed

Your flash storage would die soon when a lot of write access happens (which usually is the case). It's also possible to use filesystems read-only and dynamically mount directories rw.

>filesystems read-only and dynamically mount directories rw

Can you elaborate?

>>62100266
I can, but I won't. This will help you: https://hallard.me/raspberry-pi-read-only/

I use this for my rescue system.

>>62099918
Yes. Just install it like usual. Don't enable swap, edit fstab to set /tmp running in RAM.

>debian stable on the desktop
lmao you got memed

>>62100436

Why you idiot?

Give me one reason it's bad.

>>62100548
A windows user that wants to try linux will sure be satisfied with using years old software when he could just upgrade whenever he wants to windows.

>>62100568
Not really. I know what I'm getting myself into.

>>62100084
class 10 is kind of a meme.
