I personally always have one USB stick with me that has a live usb boot of Fedoraon it, but I just saw the new video from Linus tech tips and thought about extending it a bit.
He mostly talked about windows tools, but I think I will add
- https://www.ventoy.net/en/download.html for maybe an additional Linux light version
- https://github.com/TheWaWaR/simple-http-server if I have to share files from a broken Computer or so.
What are you using or do you have recommendations?
I looking into buying the usb-c 3.2 gen2 from Kingston with up to 1000/900 read write speed and the minimum is 256GiB so space is no issue.
Yeah I have some decently speedy USB-A 3.0 drives, they’re essential to me these days. Although I’ve filled them with too much crap to use as a boot drive for anything lol. They’re only 400MBps, but weren’t expensive.
One thing I’ve noticed though, it ends up saturating a pair of USB ports in a lot of computers. If I have a second thing in an adjacent port, eg a mouse, things get screwy (mouse movement gets choppy or speeds throttle).
