I am trying to make a persistent USB, but all the methods do not work. I haven't tried the mkusb method because I have Windows 10. So how would I make a persistent Ubuntu live USB from a Windows 10 computer?

@pa4080 I said that I have windows 10 so I can not use mkusb, and the other method does not work anymore– TheRealTengriJul 21, 2019 at 7:15

@pa4080 I saw that and it says it no longer works on the top of that section– TheRealTengriJul 21, 2019 at 7:19

2Possible duplicate of How to customize the Ubuntu Live CD?. See the answer titled "Creating your own Custom Live CD - the manual way." - the method still works. The .ISO would be static but you can customize the software and use extra space on USB for variable files.– NmathJul 21, 2019 at 8:07

Ubuntu 19.10 and later
The best application for making a bootable Ubuntu live USB from Windows is Rufus. The official ubuntu.com website recommends using Rufus instead of UNetbootin. Step-by-step instructions for creating a bootable Ubuntu live USB from Windows are at How to create a bootable USB stick on Windows.
Rufus persistent storage partition is supported in 19.10 and later. Please upgrade Rufus to version 3.9 or later.
Ubuntu 19.04 and earlier
mkusb is the most reliable tool for making an Ubuntu live USB with persistent file storage in 19.04 and earlier.

Is the space used to preserve the amount of space that the user can use without losing the data? Jul 26, 2019 at 23:27

@TheRealTengri Yes, it is the amount of space that the user can use without losing the data.– karelJul 26, 2019 at 23:28
