Darn, I do like to use flatpaks and occasionally snaps.... I know I know, most people hate them lol. But the big question for going the VM route is, do the distros I load up remember all my settings, configs, programs, etc? I want them to be like actual desktop distros where everything stays in tact and I'm not resetting everutime I boot up a VM iso

Oh and just to be sure, I need to use the live iso for the distro in order to resize partitions, is that right?
Hmm I always though western digital was pretty decent for hard drives?
Holy crap thats crazy! Are simple things like surge protectors pretty much equal? Is there a point in researching brands for such a presumably simple thing?
Thank you
Nope, I just use a usb cable and charger that are powerful enough to charge my laptop
Thanks a lot. I'm just looking for more permanent solutions. Idk a whole lot about VM, but isn't your image wiped after each use? I dont want to keep tweaking settings and configurations, I want them to be like my own personal desktop where you install your own programs and make your own configurations and tweaks and they actually remain. Is that possible for VM distros? I would like to actually learn and use the other distros as work stations too. Not just trying to peak and toy around with other distros. If that were the case, I'd use my ventoy drive
I hear Ugreen has a real nice one, but you're probably already aware of that.
Haha same here but I tend to focus on the wrong things...I jump too far ahead and get confused all while neglecting the basics
But with virtualization or containerization, is there persistence for the distros? I think thats the right word. Like does it remember everything I tweak or install? I'm not necessarily wanting to just browse new distros, I want to learn them and use them too and if a VM wipes the image every time, thats not useful for me
If I utilize this route, do you believe it'd be more trouble than anything or should it hypothetically work just fine?
