   I dl/d the Tails, verified it w/ their browser tool, wrote it to a USB   
   w/ linux Disks (=gnome-disk-utility) which was suggested at the Tails   
   site, and booted it on the same hardware that the Ventoy SSD Tails   
   failed.  That worked fine.

   OIC what/where you are at.  I don't have any experience using a device   
   in a lib'y or cafe, but when I used to shop at a big hardware   
   storefront, they would have demo PCs setup, and I would want to know   
   about the hardware's compatibility w/ linux, so I would take a USB stick   
   in to boot a live linux.   
      
   But, I can't predict if the lib'y or cafe would disable such a 'trick'.   
   If it were 'my' lib'y or cafe, I would. :-)
