From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have a durable metal ventoy usb on my keys with portable apps basically a walking IT dept, I mean I am a solo IT/Dev and I'm pretty basic so..hmmm
Solo IT/Dev? I'm so sorry.
Check out the Victorinox @work series - so you can have your USB and screwdrivers always with you.
I took an oldish 500GB laptop drive that wasn't otherwise useful and slapped it in a USB-C case for Ventoy and anything else I could possibly need. It has plenty of room for a portable "home" partition in addition to a full Medicat install and every ISO I could want.
