A Debian live image fits into 4GB flash drive. If you search stuff for sale you can probably find them cheap, and 4GB is practically the smallest size you can buy.

Can you even find 4GB flash drives anymore? Outside of sketchy ebay stores, I mean?

Companies at onferences give 4/8gb out sometimes. They buy branded ones in bulk.

They hand out 1GB businesscard labeled ones like table pens pretty often at vendor booths

I bought a brand new 4GB off Amazon last year that is supposedly made by Sandisk. Seems legit and been using it with one of my 3D printers.

Impossible to find them in any brick and mortar store anymore. Itโ€™s so dumb because they come in handy and I hate thinking of wasting larger drives with so many writes.

Now is the perfect time with memory being so expensive.

  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.
