Linux USB
Determine the appropriate size for USB drives based on your needs. Use the 3.0 drive for setup tasks and the 2.0 drive for storing the operating system. Make sure you have enough space for both during installation.
This depends entirely on the operating system you select. Various options suit different storage sizes—some fit on a 128MB USB, while others require a larger drive or extra space. The choice really comes down to your preferred OS. I personally use Kubuntu and it runs smoothly on an 8GB stick.

It's not really that complicated. Linux serves as the foundation for various distros, allowing you to choose different versions like Ubuntu, Mint, etc. You simply select one you prefer and create a bootable USB drive using tools such as Rufus. Once ready, you can install it easily.
Opt for a USB drive using an SSD instead of a basic flash drive. The latter is extremely slow and degrades quickly.
Choose the quicker 3.0 storage for the operating system; most flash drives are slow but 2.0 is much slower. When it comes to capacity, it depends on your needs. I’d avoid anything under 32Gb unless you really need it, and 128GB seems like a solid option given how affordable they are.
