From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can absolutely install it on a USB drive.
But to do so, you need to boot up the installer and proceed with the installation process from your (other) USB drive. AFAIK there is no live+persistent mode on the official ISOs.
My wording was not great. I was looking for the live+persistent mode.
Is there reason why it has to live+persistent? You can always use a VM to install it to your USB, so you won't need two drives. You can then boot from that USB on your real PC too.
My laptop is not very powerful so using a VM isn’t a great idea. I wanted to use the USB in order to boot into Fedora Silverblue before installing it so I could play around and see how it feels.
You're only going to use the VM to install Silverblue to the USB. Once it's on the USB you can use boot it on your real PC to test it out.
You can use sshd/sshfs to transfer files from a vm to another system, or even another vm.
You can shrink the installations partition to 90-95% used space, unmount the target, use dd --> tar.xz/lz/gz then the reverse to a new slightly larger partition, check enlarge whatever, configure, even the UUID of the partition transfers, so even grub.cfg/limine.cfg/lilo/syslinux all work just install in MBR or efi and reboot.
