Using a Linux USB stick for academic purposes
Hey, I know you can put Linus on a USB Stick, but I don't know that much else about Linux, I've used mint and ubuntu a few times to save data, but that's it. And I can´t focus on learning while there are 260 games waiting in steam! My university stuff is in the onedrive and I would like to run Microsoft office, a pdf reader and TeamSpeak on the distribution. How big should my stick be and what distribution should I use? I would love some advice and recommendations. Love Helge <3 Edit 1: By the way, is Youtube running very slow at the moment? cant even watch 144p content, but speedtests give me 50mbit straight. Edit 2: I´m using windows 10, maybe something at least partially similar?
Linux can be installed on a USB drive, though performance may be limited. Running Office on Linux is only feasible if using the web version; a PDF reader should work fine. For trying things out, explore the distro and test in a virtual machine first—Linux Mint with Cinnamon is my top recommendation.
linux operates smoothly from an SD card, though it isn't the most optimal setup. beyond that, libreoffice performs quite well. in terms of distributions, i don't really like linux mint; i've noticed the update problems I faced have mostly been fixed, but i'm also exploring xubuntu more for switching back to the debian base. EDIT: office 2010 received a platinum rating on winehq, which essentially means it should run flawlessly under wine.
Hey team, I’m testing Mint Cinnamon—it resembles Windows well. I just got a SanDisk Extreme with up to 250MB/s read and 190MB/s write speeds, so I’m confident it won’t be a speed issue.
