I’m pretty much set on running my PC on Linux Mint, but before I make the full plunge I want to test it out by launching it from a USB drive. I was wondering how much discs I would need on the said USB stick so that I can boot into LM environment and test it out.

    The iso is 2.9gb and I don’t think it gets bigger when you burn to USB. I think you’ll be good. Welcome to the Linux crew. Mint is a great starting point

    Setting up the USB to boot mint will wipe the usb, just as an fyi. But as far as space is concerned I think it is under 4gb. I know an 8gb will work for sure.
