Hi Sup Forums I'm not a regular poster here. Mostly stick to other boards. I recently bought a usb drive. Won't say how many gigs, but I was wondering what I can do with this besides just store random image or video files.
I dabble in cryptos a bit, and I know you can put wallet files on a drive but I need more info. I also read something about having a whole computer/OS on a drive. How do I go about doing this? What is the most useful thing to do with this if I am involved in cryptos and buying selling things online?
just tell me some cool shit I can do with it. I'm specifically interested in creating a computer out of it by putting an OS on there, I just don't know much about that. If I did that, could I then plug it into any USB device with a screen and use it as a computer?

>I also read something about having a whole computer/OS on a drive. How do I go about doing this? Its pretty easy user. download a the iso (os file) you want to put on the usb, and download a program called rufus (im assuming your using windows?) rufus is pretty straight forward to use
Easton Perry
kek. No, you need a computer to use it as a computer

Yep its really as simple as that, Motherboard / cpu / ram / storage devices / & power supplies are just memes for Sup Forums neets. it really is as simple as putting and os on the usb drive and plugging it into a screen with a usb port. dont fall for the jew memes from dell and hp intel or amd

use debian livecd wiki.debian.org/LiveCD and put the crypto bitcoin package thing on there then u boot with usb and guaranteed crypto safety (except from intel's hardware backdoors)
Wyatt Brooks
What if the screen he plugs the usb into has the little screen spying thing on it from mr robot season 3?

This thread should be deleted. Your stupid ass question could and should have been asked in the stupid questions thread.

It doesnt touch your disk unless you ask it to, so its good for backing up a drive thats about to fail Its good for fixing computers that wont boot You can take your configured os to any computer anywhere, and it works how you want it to You can reset windows passwords The list goes on

>I wish I understood linux tho it seems cool then do it faggot, make a live boot of ubuntu and see how comfy this shit is. as i said, it doesnt touch the disk, so you can run linux, reboot, and still have your windows setup with no change.

google "operating system on a flash drive"
spend a couple days browsing & reading, and test drive a couple options ... anything over 8 GB is plenty of space to experiment, although 32 GB is much more useful (you can put more than one distro on a 32 or 64 GB drive and multi-boot from it) and you can still reserve some space for file transfers & storage
come back to us next weekend with questions

The best thing you can do is clip it on to your key ring and use it for random transfers
