But what about the OS? If I were to put, say, the current
release of Fedora onto the same stick, would I be able to use
that, while visiting in-laws for instance, as if it were a live

I do it all the time. I use a thumb drives and 240 GB flash
drives installed in USB3.1 carriers.
You boot off whatever GUI and OS you want from a Live USB,
then install to disk. Select the flash drive or usb drive.
WARNINGS:
1) DO NOT REMOVE THE DRIVE UNTIL THE SYSTEM POWERS OFF !!!
2) DO NOT PLUG INTO A RUNNING WINDOWS SYSTEM !!!
Don't ask. Learned the hard way. Been there; done that;
don't want to do it again.
