   I routinely/regularly dl linux distro .iso/s to a bootable Ventoy SSD   
   and boot them up to 'check them out'. I rarely do any tweaking or   
   changes to the default, depending on how much time I spend with a   
   distro, with the exception of employing sticky keys (or xkbset if   
   there's no sticky).   
      
   There are some distro/s that I want to 'mess with' some more that cause   
   me to 'go to the trouble' of planning to reboot them live and make them   
   live with persistence.   
      
   Not many distro/s are 'easily' enabled to be persistent; MX/AntiX are   
   robust in their persistence abilities, Puppy is 'natively' persistent,   
   I've enabled persistence on EasyOS, and used Sudoku's/Nio Wiklund's   
   mkusb for Ub & Mint in the past.   
      
   I recently booted Lilidog and liked it well enough to want to spend more   
   time with it and make it persistent, so I employed Ventoy's persistence   
   strategy by Ventoying a 32G USB using its linux web UI tool, copying   
   Lilidog to it, then using Ventoy's clever 'plugson' tools to make a   
   .json for a persistence.dat for it so that now the ventoy usb can boot a   
   live persistent Lilidog.   
      
   For those who like to boot live linux distro/s, whether it be with a VM   
   or Ventoy, I recommend Lilidog. I haven't checked out his other   
   releases; I'm kinda interested in seeing what Waydog has to offer in   
   Wayland varieties.
