"I love how flexible the open-source operating system is because it removes most limitations found on other OSes. One way I've used Linux is directly from a USB drive. Not only is this the easiest way to install Linux, but it's also a viable way to use Linux. With a tool like uNetBootin, you can burn an ISO to a USB drive such that it's possible to boot to Linux, bypassing the installed OS on a computer."
"I always like to have a Linux OS with me because I never know when I'm going to run into a situation where I need Linux and the only OS in sight is Windows. When those situations occur, I can pull out my trusty USB drive, insert it into the computer, reboot, and boot into Linux. I can then do what I need to do."
Running Linux from a USB drive enables a portable, bootable Linux environment that can bypass an installed operating system. Bootable USBs created with tools like uNetBootin allow users to test distributions via Live sessions, install distributions, or use Linux for rescue and recovery tasks. A bootable USB lets users insert the drive, reboot, run Linux for needed tasks, then remove the drive to restore the original system state. Important considerations include performance limits of USB media, persistence of changes, storage capacity, and hardware compatibility when choosing this approach.
