I believe Knoppix is the only Linux Distribution with enormous number of applications that can be booted from a USB and does not fear or care whether Microsoft Windows exists at boot time.
Of course it can be installed on a hard drive but with a persistent volume in a 64 GB USB that need does not arise.
It is a fully fledged mobile OS.
I can do all my jobs with only one USB stick but I have all the volumes from version 7.
Being a Linux guy I keep Debian in my PC but it needs a windows partition to boot.
It won't boot from a Ext-4 partition.
This subservience to Windows is an unwelcome ploy.
Since Linux can stand on its own in the cloud, why one needs a windows boot partition?
This is true also, if one boots from a SATA disk with SSD.
I do not like carrying a Laptop on travel.
It is a big hassle on the plane.
If I cannot take my Operating System in a external disk and boot it at the airport, all the achievements of Linux is lost due to Microsoft's UEFI hegemony.
I still use legacy BIOS and usually carry a USB stick prepared from Multisystem USB on travel.
Problem with Multisystem USB stick is one cannot save data.
I hope Endless OS look into this problem in future.
The latest Endless OS DVD won't let me create a USB stick and also won't install on my laptop with a small SATA disk.
I used the old version of Endless OS to Install a new copy.
It is running smoothly and I believe it does not need updating but I would only update the applications.
