Live USB is a fascinating way of testing out any Linux distro without modifying or making changes to your computer. Unknown to many, there is data persistency mode in the Live session.

The two methods will still allow you to boot Linux from a USB drive and save your data. Some may be thinking about the differences between the two methods and which one you should opt for.
