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.

But then I'd have to buy one big drive instead of just reusing one from the box of 1-4 GB jobbos
Those small USB drives are too slow anyway, often limited to USB 2.0 interfaces or slow flash modules. I've switched over to an SSD specifically because of how slow booting and installation is from a standard 10-year-old USB stick.
Put your SSD into this case and enjoy proper CD/DVD/BluRay emulation, multiple VHDs and much more.
EDIT: Not an ad, @Okus@lemmy.dbzer0.com . Just the only case that has all these features. And it's no affiliate link, so I don't even get anything if somebody clicks on it.
Sounds like the regular way still works for you then! I've given away most of my smaller drives, I'm pretty sure I don't have anything smaller than 32GB right now.
lol usb 2.0
