What is the performance difference between live booting from a USB pen, and installed on an eMMC drive? (lemmy.ca)

I am not quite ready to switch to a GNU/Linux yet, but I have live booted Linux Mint Xfce yesterday, with most things working, but much worse for launching times, etc. Would it be any different if I installed it on my eMMC drive? Since they are both based on NAND flash memory, I am clueless about it.

And the easiest way to figure out the USB version is to look at the USB port and connector. If there is white or black plastic piece inside of them, it’s USB 1 and 2 respectively. If the plastic part is blue, red or some other color, it’s USB 3 or better.
