Golly. Persistent live usb has been a thing for like, ever right?
It makes me feel a little bit like open source projects aren't doing documentation right when someone could have easily googled for this if they only knew the right vocabulary.
But, I'm not super worried about having lost this specific person since they're so quick to call linux as a whole "crap" and developers "stupid." Maybe after undergrad and some time in the field they will come around.

Not only that, but it's definitely possible to install, e.g. Debian onto an external drive and not touch the internal bootloader. It seems that the author ran into a limitation with either Linux Mint or perhaps Ubuntu.
