Can MKUSB be used to make persistent live bootable for all Linux distros?

Jofto · 04-04-2023, 10:18 PM

Have difficulties to install LXLE, ZorinOS and Mint. I am thinking about making a persistent live bootable with MKUSB. Can MKUSB be used to make a persistent live bootable of Mint or ZrinOS?
Thanks.

The answer is no. Mkusb is designed for Ubuntu and should work on some if not all variants of it such as Zorin and Mint. The process is described at the mkusb site at the link below.

I link to use Multiboot for booting multiple distros. It has an option for persistence I think built into the installer I think, if not they have instructions for making a writable partition.

Rufus is a windows program that has the option to create a persistent live usb: https://rufus.ie/en/ However can only have one iso at a time on the usb.
