I see. Those are all USB 2.0, probably, no? Does the lower read/write speeds compared to 3.2 make a difference for booting from a live ISO?

Cause the smallest USB 3.2 flash drives I could find were 16GB. But that leaves room for a casper.rw and a swapfile if necessary, or even multiboot, so it's not that bad. And they come in 5 packs!

Of course, if someone has a collection of promo sticks, use what you have of course...

    In my experience the USB 2.0 drives are slower to boot initially and install, but I think they decompress to RAM since for me it has never impacted performance while using the Live functionality, so if you are ok waiting for boot/install they are just fine.
