I'm new to all of this and I just had a few questions. I'm looking to run Ubuntu directly from a 128gb USB 3.0 flash drive. I read the Ubuntu page about creating a bootable USB stick for Windows 10 using the Rufus USB installer. Is that the guide I should follow?
I have a relatively new laptop which has the advanced boot options to boot via USB. Basically my end goal here is to have Ubuntu installed on the USB stick. I don't want to use a VM and I don't want to try to dual boot, or wipe my Windows install. I want Ubuntu installed nowhere on my PC, but just to run it from USB. Is that what the guide is for?
I've installed Ubuntu before on an old laptop I bought from a friend years ago. I remember when I did that I also used a USB drive, but I didn't make a bootable drive. It just had the options to install alongside windows, over windows and to try before the install.
I want the OS, all the data, any working directories, etc all located and run from the USB. When I unplug it I don't want to have any trace of it on my laptop. Basically I want to keep the two separate. Church and state, so to speak.
Is that what the bootable USB stick option using Rufus is for or should I just go with a VM? Thanks in advance!
