What the three popular U-disk Linux distributions are like, many novices are not very clear about this. In order to help you solve this problem, the following editor will explain it in detail. People with this need can come and learn. I hope you can get something.

Open source technicians have a deep understanding of this.

Linux users will almost always remember the first time they found that they could boot their computer with Linux and run on it without actually installing it. Of course, many users know that you can boot your computer into the operating system installer, but Linux is different: it doesn't need to be installed at all! Your computer doesn't even need to have a hard drive. You can run Linux from a flash drive for months or even years.

Naturally, there are several different "live live" Linux distributions to choose from. We asked our authors about their favorites, and their answers were as follows.

1 、 Puppy Linux

As a former Puppy Linux developer, I was naturally biased about this, but what attracted me to Puppy in the first place was:

It focuses on low-end and old hardware that is readily available to third World countries. This opens up computing power for poor areas that cannot afford the latest modern systems.

It can run in memory and can be used to provide some interesting security advantages

It processes user files and sessions in a single SFS file, allowing you to back up, restore, or move your existing desktop / application / file to another installation with only one copy command. "

-- JT Pennington

"to me, it's always been Puppy Linux. It starts quickly and supports old hardware. Its GUI can easily convince people to try Linux for the first time." -- Sachin Patil

"Puppy is a real live distribution that can run on any machine. I have an abandoned microATX tower computer with a broken optical drive, no hard drive (it has been removed for data security), and very little memory. I plugged the Puppy into its SD card slot and ran it for several years." -- Seth Kenlon

"I don't have much experience using the Linux distribution on USB drives, but I voted for Puppy Linux. It's lightweight and very suitable for old machines." -- Sergey Zarubin

2. Fedora and Red Hat

"my favorite USB distribution is actually Fedora Live USB. It has browsers, disk tools and terminal emulators, so I can use it to save data on my machine, or I can browse the web or use ssh to access other machines to do some work when needed. All of these do not need to store any data on USB drives or on machines in use, and will not be compromised in the event of an intrusion." -- Steve Morris

"I used to use Puppy and DSL. Today, I have two USB drives: RHEL7 and RHEL8. Both are configured as a complete working environment and can boot on UEFI and BIOS. When I have a problem to solve and face random hardware, in real life, this is the savior of time." -- Steven Ellis

3 、 Porteus

"not long ago, I installed virtual machines for every version of Porteus. It's interesting, so I'll try them again when I get a chance. Whenever I talk about micro-distributions, I always think of the first distribution I remember: tomsrtbt. It's always installed and designed on floppy disks. I don't know how useful it is now, but I think I should count it in." -- Alan Formy-Duval

As a long-time user of Slackware, I appreciate the latest version of Slack and the flexible environment provided by Porteus. You can boot with a Porteus running in memory so that you don't need to connect the USB drive to your computer, or you can run it from the drive so you can keep your changes. Packaging applications is easy, and the Slacker community has many existing software packages. This is the only real-time release I need. " -- Seth Kenlon

Other: Knoppix

"I haven't used Knoppix for a while, but I used it a lot to save Windows computers damaged by malware. It was first released in September 2000 and has been under development ever since. It was originally developed by Linux consultant Klaus Knopper and named after him and was designed as an on-the-spot CD. We use it to save user files on Windows systems that have become inaccessible due to malware and viruses. " -- Don Watkins

"Knoppix has a great impact on on-site Linux, but it is also one of the most convenient distributions for blind users. Its ADRIANE interface is designed to be used without a visual display and can handle all the most common tasks that any user may need to get from a computer." -- Seth Kenlon

Choose your Linux on the spot

There are many things that are not mentioned, such as Slax (a real-time distribution based on Debian), Tiny Core, Slitaz, Kali (a security-focused utility distribution), E-live, and so on. If you have a free flash drive, please put Linux on it and you can use Linux on any computer at any time!
