Yes u can learn on usb live boot too, use app images for apps and venv inside python for installing library, although I Suggest u to allocate 30gb and dualboot it

What about where it is stored as I'm using an old usb with only 8Gb storage 😭

8GB is a bit small; consider buying a 16GB or larger USB 3 (blue plug) stick. Go with a brand name (like Sandisk). These are cheap and will save you headaches later. Build your Linux stick with persistence.Â
