"I've used Linux in just about every way possible and for nearly every use case. 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."
"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 and, when I'm finished, I can shut down the PC, remove the USB drive, boot the system,"
Running Linux from a USB drive enables booting almost any distribution and bypassing an installed operating system. Tools such as uNetBootin can write an ISO to a USB drive so the computer can boot directly to Linux. A Live option allows testing a distribution without installing it, and a USB Linux installation can serve as a portable rescue and recovery tool. Carrying a USB Linux drive allows use on Windows machines by rebooting and selecting the USB as the boot device. There are trade-offs and considerations to review before choosing this approach.
