From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm guessing it writes user data back to the USB

No, it does not according to the article:

The one thing to keep in mind, however, is that you'll need an external drive to save your work. As Dynebolic is a live distribution, saved work is lost when you reboot.

Nah, it's just a live session ISO with a bunch of media creation tools.

I used to work off a live USB with my data in it in the early aughts in college, where finding a public access computer was easy and laptops were expensive and bad. Nothing new.
