I see people say this a lot and I have no experience with this but I wonder why you wouldn’t use a USB nvme SSD enclosure it seems a lot easier and idk if running it over USB would limit the speed but it could preform better than a USB stick.
A dumb little stick is fine for the occasional “fix something up” or “take a snapshot of a Windows drive because dd is objectively better than anything that Windows itself could do”. A live iso distro precludes me from adding a handful of other useful tools.
I would like to install a distro on a USB stick, without it doing something stupid to my internal drive’s EFI.

“persistent storage” is a thing.
But USB drives can’t endure standard Linux for long. Too many logs and other files written all the time…
