Thank you for your thoughtful advice!

I did not know that MX Snapshot can be used as a personal system clone utility.

Is there non-writable USB used as a live USB? How can I check that the live USB I use is writable? (e.g. by successfully creating random files under /home/demo/ directory, or my current username if from snapshot iso)
=====
Where should I put files / softwares on the live USB? I noticed the directory ./Live-usb-storage corresponds to /live/boot-dev/Live-usb-storage when booting from the live USB, and I am wondering if there is a more "correct" / intended place to put them.
Some of those tools need Internet to download dependencies when installing, creating a chicken-and-egg problem. For example, geph, a proxy/VPN, provides flatpak package on Linux, which requires connecting to flathub.
Some solutions I can think of:
- flatpak's official doc on installing self-contained package onto a USB stick, for offline install. Which part in the filesystem in live USB should I put these packages?
- I have a VM (Virtual Machine) running installed geph. I can backup an image file from this VM and copy it to the live USB. Which part in the filesystem in live USB should I put the image?
