Suggestion for Linux distro from USB/SD card
by fedenelcosmo from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4TYQY)
The SSD of my laptop (Dell Latitude E7240) seems gone for now, and since I'm travelling I can't order a new one. I have a USB stick (16GB), a SD card (4GB) and a micro SD with SD adaptor (16GB) that I can use for storage and a operative system. My idea was to download a Linux ISO and boot it from one of my devices. I will use the laptop mainly for browsing internet, listen to music, edit pictures. I would like a persistent install, so I don't have to download every software that I need everytime and I can keep the same settings too.
Also, I know that running a OS everytime from a USB/SD wear rapidly the device, is there a way to avoid it?
Note: I am a linux beginner, so please explain me things in a simple way and don't get anything for granted.
My questions are:
1) Which linux distro is better for me given the informations provided?
2) Which device should I use for booting it?
3) How to make a persistent booting?
4) How to prevent the wearing of the device?
