Any distro that werks out of the box, so Ubuntu and Ubuntu based ones. Google for pictures, try the one you like the most, they all work the same way.

You can always boot from a flash drive, it's just going to be painfully slow.

Xubuntu
Linux Mint Cinnamon

These can be installed alongside Windows to dual boot and test before you migrate.

One of the recommended beginner ones. I would go for mint. Most modern motherboards will boot from USB so very likely yes.

when using a live cd, none of your settings will stick on reboot

Literally any distro will work great for that, the smaller ones are the more complicated less "it just werks" tho

You can use a flashdrive and make a live USB instead. With this you can make a persistent file up to 4GB because of the limitations of FAT32.

You can use NTFS too but can't use the persistent file.

Or you can install the whole system in the flashdrive, it may be a little slow if you're using USB 2.0 but works just fine.

Don't install -buntu or any african pygmy sounding bs

Research arch.

There are support groups for people as autistic as you. Look them up.

Ubuntu makes it easier to keep Chrome, Firefox, and Baka-Mplayer up to date, so probably that.

>What's the best Linux distro if all I want to do with my computer is watch anime and browse the internet?
Pretty much any simple distro.
If you want to stay light maybe lubuntu or xubuntu.

>Also, if I use a live CD, can I install the whole OS to a flash drive and theoretically use it on any computer?
I don't know if it's frowned upon in /g/, but you can use unetbootin to make a flash drive with a live installed, with persistant storage too, to boot on any pc you like.
But if you want to watch anime you risk running out of space fast, and as someone else already pointed out, it's slower an laggish, even on a USB3 flash drive.

If it's just for testing I would advise running them in a Virtual Machine. Much faster and safer.

I think he can find them in the completely opposite direction of a Desktop thread, if I'm not mistaken.

No. Just every x86 PC that is no mac and has booting from usb enabled, also only if you're allowed to.

Windows

Im pretty new to linux, but wouldn't puppy libux be a good alternative?

>>51433635
Arch or manjaro
And yes you can install it to a flash drive.
