I have an NT desktop I want to continue to use but do not want to be exposed to security issues after April 8. I've read I can boot the computer from a flashdrive with a Linux based OS installed on it and use the internet off the flashdrive while keeping the desktop safe. Will Ubuntu work for this? If so how big of a flashdrive will I need? Thanks.

In response to Danatela, yes I want to place a persistence file onto that USB.

  • Do you want to place persistence file onto that USB? Persistence file helps you keep settings but requires more space.

  • If an old NT machine, you may not have much RAM nor good video. Full Ubuntu needs a better system. But Lubuntu may work with an older system. help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu
