Running Mint From a Flash Drive

Post by kh2b1 »

I have Mint 19.3 installed on my computer. Is it possible to run (not install) Mint 20.2 from a flash drive and use ProtonVPN with it? I mean, can I "install" ProtonVPN on Mint 20.2 even though it would be running off a flash drive?

If all this is possible, where can I find the best tutorial on how to go about this? I don't want to accidentally install it over top Mint 19.3.

Sure, but running "live" (not installed) you'll probably want persistence set up, otherwise you will have to reinstall proton, and set it up every time you boot the USB stick.
