I’m an Ubuntu-user.
My wife and myself have a Windows laptop from work and my kids also from school.
Not to have to buy another laptop for personal use I made an Ubuntu-usb-stick to boot from any of these four available laptops.
I’m not a power user. I need some office-apps, web-browser, … . And gaming is done via Gforce-Now cloud gaming.
If that makes me a noob 🙂 I mostly don’t have the time anymore to tinker with all this anymore. Been there, done that.
That’s nice. Be sure to set appropriate flags to mount the USB (e.g. in fstab file) to prolong it’s life span. The thumb drive could deteriorate rather quickly otherwise.
Reading the article, it seems like the configuration of the fstab-file needs to be done at creating the bootable usb-stick?
Or can it also be modified afterwards?

You’re doing just fine. Use. The tools you want when you want.
