Or even a 128 gig stick... That is actually quite a bit of storage for a portable stick... :)
The great thing is, very few Linux Distros are over 2 gigs... A fully loaded Mint Cinnamon with all the bells and whistles is barely over 2 gigs. With what? 4 gigs for the Swap volume? It is still only 6 gigs and the rest is portable storage in a small package.
But along with these I also have larger external hard drives. One is 2 Tb and no bigger than a Cell phone. I just stay away from Videos when on the smaller sticks and they will hold quite a bit of data.
How much space is needed for Win 10 11on a flash drive? For best flash drive get a Samsung bar plus..... 17.99 for 128gb and 3$ less for 64gb
