I'm a fan of linux live persistence, of the 'proper' type.

There's persistence and there's persistence.  I would say that I've 
found the type of persistence that is 'native' to Puppy linux to be my 
fave, because of its simplicity from the user interface perspective, but 
while I like Puppy and its followup by BK, EasyOS a lot, neither are my 
favorite daily driver distro.

The most satisfactory persistence I've found for LM is that created by 
mkusb, which I've used for quite some time; even 'tho' DUS 'barks' about 
LM not being Deb or Ub during the creation, it has performed quite 
satisfactorily up until now.

Another fave of mine is Ventoy, because I enjoy messing around w/ all 
kinds of live linux, and even the occasional Hiren's Wins from its XP 
thru' W10 & W11 PEs.  However, I've never 'expanded' my Ventoy 
experience to my other sphere of persistence w/ the Ventoy plugin for 
persistence.

I think maybe I stopped 'before' that because when I looked at its basis 
in .json, I tho't 'What the hell is .json?'

Well, now that I've run into a mkusb + LM 22.1 (and LMDE 6) obstacle 
that I haven't been able to resolve yet, I decided that I wanted to 
'mate' a MX 23.5 and its complex persistence options w/ the Ventoy 
persistence plugin, so I needed to familiarize myself w/ enough .json to 
be able to do that.

Another 'improper' persistence I've encountered is that of Win Rufus USB 
maker which offers to provide persistence (usually) to appropriate Deb 
or Ub .iso/s.  That alleged persistence is not really the kind of system 
persistence I want.  I'm looking for more than just a parking place for 
some personal files to persist.  I want to make changes to the system 
and have those changes persist.

In any case, now that I've looked at .json some more, in its wp article 
and at the Ventoy site's instructions for its use for that specific 
plugin, I think it isn't all that intimidating.

So, I'm a newb to .json because mkusb + LM 22.1 & LMDE don't get along; 
just to finish this w/ topicality :-)
