fd93 – How to Setup Puppy Linux With Ventoy
Like many people in the 2020s, I travel a lot. I work in a different city to the one I live in, and spend a few days in one place and a few days in the other. I don't really mind travelling, but it comes with a few inconveniences.
One of them is having to haul all my stuff around between multiple locations. Sure, I have a laptop, but hauling it hundreds of miles every week is a pain, not to mention it risks getting damaged with so much time on the road.
What else can I do? Well, I could set up a desktop (or a semi-permanent laptop) at each location I work at. But then I have to figure out how to shuffle data between these devices, not to mention keep track of several physical devices.
I could work in the cloud and set up a development server, but then my ability to do stuff is tied to internet access and the tools I have available on my client systems. Railway tunnels passing through Asian mountain ranges do not have great mobile internet access.
I've experimented with portable distros before, specifically Slax, but never took up the cause seriously. At the time my use case wasn't strong enough, and I could never figure out how to get Slax to behave consistently on save. Unlike Slax, I managed to debug most of the issues with Puppy Linux over a weekend.
