so I’ve had problems getting linux to actually setup properly but the functional preview on the boot USB stick itself works without issue, so can I just run it that way, or is that going to limit functionality in some way?

    Yeah, echoing this, I’ve run Linux off of my external nvme enclosure for is testing as well, mitigates the heat and durability issues but was nowhere near the best experience, though it’s supposed to be able to do 10 Gbps so it’s nice in pinch, it’s my rescue and iso drive mainly.

    Standard USB keys get toasty as heck just from regular usage, especially the metal bodied ones.

    Personally I view SD card installs with a similar level of concern to a USB install, had those crap out with no warning in the past (though tbf, it’s only happened a handful of times), I backup configs for my stuff running off of SBCs for that reason.
