I do think linux.org should be a place where people can post a question about a linux topic there is some people interested in without the most active members and mods of the forum destroying the thread. That would be nice. Even a topic which may be for people who like to read and learn about...

There's a lot of options. For example, you can keep your home directory seperate from rootfs, a third file to linuxfs and rootfs. You can save with personal or not personal. You can add additional users like any other installation. For information on step-by-step there's better places to get...

This guy posted this video which told me MX Linux has options for loading into RAM. In addition to actually watching that video, actually READING all the replies, and studying this intently, as well as DOING many installs and experiments. I come back and share what I've learned, HOPING people...

Do any of you READ?? I would think if you don't like reading maybe spending large amounts of time on a forum is not the best use of your time? The question is, and has always been, what Linux OS's load entirely into RAM? The ironic thing is that a certain member's first reply linked a YouTube...

Same as before. I have no idea how your reply is of any value to anybody or what you think a forum is for. If someone makes a post about Thunderbird app, and I don't use Thunderbird or have anything meaningful to add about Thunderbird, I just would not feel compelled to reply. What is the...

So don't watch it then. A forum post is not demanding anybody to do anything, is it?

Isn't that what I did in my post and with my video? Did you read what I wrote before replying? I guess I have to say that on my machine, I have a fairly speedy nvme @ 3,000mb/s, but my RAM is something like 25,600mb/s. It is noticeably quicker for some things such as launching apps. I also...

I wouldn't assume that. That's why I posted a thread asking. You will notice I said, "MX Linux and AntiX have some really great tools" for it. Specifically in the Advanced Options of their installer. I mentioned Puppy Linux, but there's usually do not load entirely into RAM. If you know of some...

I posted a thread awhile back asking the community about what Linux OS's can load entirely into RAM. For some reason this was very controversial. https://linux.org/threads/what-linux-distros-load-entirely-into-ram.48643/page-2#post-219325 To be clear, I guess I have to say it... I'm not telling...

Okay, I can see why you'd think that. And there are certain things about something like a liveUSB that loads into RAM and never writes to disk that are handy, like for utility purposes. A gparted.iso (which is a lightweight debian good for little else than running a fully-equipped version of...

I'm just going to agree. It is time for me to blast into the future where people respond to the title of a thread without reading any of it or knowing anything about the topic. I thank you @bob466 for showing me the light!! I will immediately stop reading and trying to learn things. My...

You're fine bud, no need to cuss. I might get mad when the 20th person talks about their live USB and has no idea what the thread is about. You're only the 5th or 6th.

I think what I used to frugal install MXLinux came from Anti-X and it's awesome!! Everything I was thinking about they had already set up and easy to use.

Well, we're talking about loading into RAM and being able to save, not how you use your live session of Mint.

@dos2unix Okay, there's a lot of bad information and flat-out wrong things in your post. There's many different options when it comes to loading into RAM and how and when you save. It's not the same as a liveUSB. 1. booting slower - not that noticeable on frugal installs I've worked with...
