True, true. And to append that, you can partition said bootable flash drive and point the persistence at that second, many-Gigabyte space.

Interesting concept... I never thought of that. That sure would be more convenient than a mere 2 to 5 GB space max that you get with regular persistence (at least, I think that's how much they let you have...)
I wasn't going to get into Persistence. Especially if you have a YUMI drive, it's not worth it.lake_wrangler wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 9:55 amAlthough some (all?) Ubuntu LiveCD install can be set to have "persistence": when you first set up the USB key, with whichever program you chose to do so, you have an option to set a few MB for persistence, which allows you to install stuff on the LiveCD that will remain, the next time you use the USB LiveCD to boot your system.Warrl wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 2:21 am Typically with a "live" installation you actually can install and update anything you want... but it goes away when you shut down, because it doesn't actually change the installation on the media.
(So the installations that require a reboot - which is pretty rare with Linux - don't work.)

Oops, 18.04 isn't really getting LTS status after all, but it is getting Extended Support through a new backport repository.
That said, it also bears mentioning that the groovy ol ver 16.04 it's reaching End of Life this month.
Seems it IS LTS now, but HAS to have the Backport Repository to be able to BE LTS...Bionic Beaver 18.04
This is the latest LTS-based regular release, which we (the Ubuntu Studio team) will be supporting until April 2021 with the Ubuntu Studio Backports PPA. The Backports PPA must be added to receive this extended support which would otherwise have ended January 2019.
Most likely, a portion of the menu is system-wide and a portion is user-specific. The user-specific part would reside somewhere in your home folder, probably in the hidden .config folder.I'd assumed reinstalling the OS would reset the menus to a 'fresh install config', but- nah. VLC & SMPlayer, et al are still there, but they used to live in a sub-menu all their own, and that menu has been deleted.
