There is no problem to boot linux in #virtualbox from flash drive. Me, f.e. i'm using #mxlinux installed as #live persistent so i can not only boot any pc with that disk but also boot it from within #virtualbox.


Is there a way to boot a #linux distribution on a flash disk while running a normal host on that computer?

I mean we can run a full-desktop distribution, or even two, on another desktop distribution with #virtualbox. Why shouldn't I be able to boot another distribution from a flash disk? 🤔

Does such a thing exist?

Dualboot is just too inflexible and the portability aspect would be very cool. Either boot that disk standalone or a guest on top of another Host-OS...


Anybody know if it’s possible to run #Mastodon or #Soapbox in #VirtualBox? Thinking about messing around with self hosting today…
