I use linux Ubuntu via a 32GB USB. Everytime I boot it, it doesn't save my data. Therefore, I found that I can create a live persistence key which I did with the help of this website: https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/14912/create-a-persistent-bootable-ubuntu-usb-flash-drive/ Which I did but doesn't save my data. Notes: I dont want to install linux on my computer.
Thank you for your help.
In Ubuntu, Debian and many but not all 're-spins' [operating systems] based on them, you can install mkusb and create a persistent live drive according to the following links,
In Windows, you can install and use
Rufus, an extracting tool, which is easy to use.
Win32 Disk Imager, a cloning tool, and clone an image file with [a persistent live operating system and] mkusb. See the following links,
wiki.ubuntu.com/Win32DiskImager/compressed-image_2_USB-or-SD
In most operating systems (including MacOS), you can also try with Unetbootin according to the following link,
Use Lili(LinuxLiveUsb). This application allows creation of a live disk with persistence.
I have used the Universal USB Installer for years and never had a problem with persistence.

as a side note the multiboot tool is also fantastic at creating a boot disk that contains as many live environments as you want.
You can use Ventoy. As per their website it is opensource and you can boot multiple OS live image ISO image from single USB.
Copy Ubuntu ISO image on ventoy USB disk and boot in to live disk. From here you can install Ubuntu on a UBS disk which will be a persistent one.
