My is Caio and I have a little idea for Debian system. My idea to you is the creation of a system exclusive for Flash USB, external HDD or SSD. Already exist the GNU/Linux Slax, such system able to install directly in a Flash USB, and its performanceis really good, but it is a simple system. Thus my idea is about the creation of Debian for portables devices, which will be really interesting have a portable OS or multiples portables OS for new uses.
Hi Debian Team

I hope that idea can be good for all users and new applications.
Thanks for the answer. I would like be able to create that
technology, but I still have a lot to learn about Unix.
I will try to install Debian into my USB flash driver, and pray to
it works. I did it once, with Linux Mint, trying to install it into
my USB flash, but the OS performance was very slow.
Thanks again ;) good weekend. Bye.

Sounds like a useful idea!

Sure it is.
As with many things in Debian, however, it won't really happen unless
someone spends time on actually developing the necessary software for
that to be possible.
This could be you! All it needs is for you to look at what would be
needed to make it possible, and work on them one thing at a time until
we have something that could work.
I think that at this point, the closest we have to what you're
suggesting is the Debian Live system; these produce ISOs that, I
believe, can be written to a USB disk from which you can then boot. I'm
not sure if that is what you're suggesting, but if it isn't, then
perhaps you can look at what's missing to make it work better.
Think you're up for it?

Journaling causes many re-writes to small areas on Flash memory, which at least on some Flash sticks can cause the Flash to fail much more rapidly. How rapidly the Flash cells will fail depends on how many rewrites the Flash can tolerate and how the "wear leveling" algorithm in the Flash's memory management operates.

I run my daily machine from a USB-Stick for years now without any problems. I simply installed to the USB-Stick and not to the HDD. Of course, USB3 is highly
recommended over USB2. Nevertheless, USB2 does also work for me and I am also using it daily.
My most important finding on system responsiveness is that minimum 2 MB CPU cache is required, and at least 3 MB is wanted. This parameter to me came out to
be the most significant one to consider. Besides this, 4 years ago (I did not compare it recently) the usage of the GNOME desktop slowed down responsiveness
strongly and I therefore decided for KDE Plasma which does not make me any problems on an almost 10 years old 4 GB RAM and Intel Core2Duo CPU hardware. Good luck!
