I bought a 256GB usb a couple of weeks ago, I now want a OS on it with persistent storage.
I only have 1 drive on my newest laptop at the moment, so I do not want to dualboot and such, so a os on the usb stick is a nice option.
Tonight I’m testing NomadBSD - https://nomadbsd.org/index.html
Will flash it in a couple of minutes, hope it boots fine with my hardware.

It booted fine! currently creating partitions etc. I like that you could enable encryption. when its done I’ll go through my usual routine and set up all development tools etc and get some stuff compiled.

annoyingly it did not boot after install. prints : CCB request completed with an error.. argh.

Can’t help you there I’m afraid, I have no clue. Google fu isn’t showing much helpfulness either 😢

decided to boot it again. turns out I typed the wrong encryption password yesterday, and instead of saying that it printed that error. booted fine now :)

sadly wifi does not work. have to check that later.
