Looking for a good distro for use on a USB stick - eviltoast

I have some USB sticks, and I want to use them as portable Linux USBs. However, I am stuck on which distro will function the best. Here are my possible options:

  • Fedora KDE Spin (installed directly to the USB)
  • Fedora KDE Spin (in live mode, but with persistence)
  • Fedora Kinoite (installed directly to the USB)
  • EndeavourOS

I do have a USB3 flash drive, but I would like something suitable for USB2 speeds, if that will give okay speeds. I would also prefer to use a Fedora distro, however if troubleshooting Fedora is as easy as Endeavour, then I don’t mind.

I will also be installing other programs (Steam, LibreOffice, etc.) onto the USB after I install the OS.

    i think op means installing onto the usb, not just live booting? but if not: i can confirm that ventoy is awesome
