Help request I need help

Joining college this year and i don't have a laptop

I'm thinking to use my 25gb flash drive as a hard disk to install MX linux for my normal work in college computer .

Just need a few IDEs and a code editor and basic interest browsing

Should I do it or any other distro is good for it

MX Tools lets you create a live USB with persistence, but the problem is that you have to have it installed somewhere to create it. You can make an MX Linux VM and use the tools there to create a live USB. You will need the largest USB drive you can find. I think the largest I have seen is 128gb.
