I tried this guide for creating a bootable USB for DSL, but it doesn’t appear to work on my laptop or desktop. I’m looking for a solution where I don’t need a full HDD—just a flash drive to run everything. Specifically, I want my 1GB flash drive to function independently as a computer, mainly for Java development. Any alternative instructions would be helpful.

DSL offers advantages compared to other Linux distributions that are lightweight, often under 1GB. You can use Rufus for the process. For a system without an HDD, you can connect to a PXE server over the network.

I was viewing a tutorial about bringing up old PCs and DSL was mentioned since it's just 50MB. I don’t have the means to set up a server myself. Now that you bring it up, I remember my school allowed us to install OpenSuse or Open Suze if we logged in correctly. I was looking for a portable option that could fit in my pocket—just the OS, with files only. It felt like a fun idea to use it anywhere besides my own machine. Could you find any guides or download links for these lightweight Linux distributions?
