My idea to you is the creation of a system exclusive for Flash USB, external HDD or SSD. Already exist the GNU/Linux Slax, such system able to install directly in a Flash USB, and its performance is really good, but it is a simple system. Thus my idea is about the creation of Debian for portables devices, which will be really interesting have a portable OS or multiples portables OS for new uses. That sounds a bit like Debian Live, which are read-only images that can be written to CD/DVD/USB/etc: https://www.debian.org/CD/live/ https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-live/ If you mean a normal read-write system that just lives on USB, a normal Debian install can do that and has been able to since at least 2006, I used Debian in that configuration myself around that time. These days it will be harder to find public/shared computers (Internet cafes were common back then) and harder to find computers where the owner/sysadmin allows booting from USB, so you will probably need portable Windows/macOS virtualisation tools installed on a second partition. Also booting from USB on UEFI systems is likely more complicated than the BIOS systems I was using so some booting tweaks might be needed. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
