New debian user :-)
Thirty years plus using Linux and never a full blown Debian on my machine. Today, however, that all changed. Today Debian Bullseye11 resides on a 32GB thumb drive, and I'm blown away by it's responsiveness, and speed of action. This is my first distro thumb drive and I'm loving it .

I can relate to that experience. But I suspect it would be more responsive actually installed on a SSD.

Re: New debian user :-)
Welcome to the Debian club @pepper ! Many here have been using Debian for years and would never consider any other distro. 
Some USB flash keys are extremely fast these days. I have a SanDisk Extreme 32GB with AVL-MXE live which is virtually indistinguishable from the same distro installed on SSD.
My daily driver Bullseye is installed to SSD though as SSD is much more reliable than a flash drive.

In any event, I run my main system on a USB stick due to my spin drive not working anymore. On my 12+ year old DELL laptop, this setup boots BTRFS from the USB stick in less that 7 seconds, so I'm extremely happy with the speed of Debian. The stability is above any other distro I've used as well. I've been running Linux for about 15+ years or so myself.
Anyways, hope you stick with it a little; I see you only have 1 post...
