I was originally trying to get Fedora-on-a-stick working with a USB 3.0
stick w/ a 32GB Class 10 SD card.
The performance with a "standard" install was not acceptable and updates
took WAAAAAYYYY too long.
Since the performance using the live method with a compressed image was
WAY better I was trying to find a way to use the live type install with
overlay-fs (or an alternative) and then have a way to take all the
deltas in the overlay-fs file and commit them back into the main image
file on occasion, but the tools aren't really "there" yet and it was
very cumbersome.
I think M.2 + USB 3.0/3.1 is the way to go but it is a lot bigger than
my tiny USB 3.0 w/ microSD card setup.
Thanks,

I still use the Live USB on USB 3 sticks. My SATA SSD USB 3.1
carrier boots a lot faster. Both still beat native Windows,
even on USB 2.
M.2 SATA sticks are a bit skinnier than standard 2.5" SATA
carriers, but I haven't notices a problem with the 2.5" as
they are flat and fit nicely in my briefcase. Also,
the USB-C connector (I have lots of adapter) comes in handy
too.
Have not found a M.2 NVMe to USB 3.x carrier.
I find the Live USB to be a pain-in-the-a** as you really can't
customize them much. Each time you add something, even
though you remove it later, it doesn't give you back the
space. And you fill up really fast.
Plus, for some reason, they corrupt a lot. I have mainly
traced this back to something Windows does to them when
you insert them in a running machine. (I have since
disciplined myself to only insert them into a powered off
Windows machine.)
Now to figure out how to get my USB 3.1 drive to
boot off both legacy BIOS and EUFI.
