Corona688, he's been told this a bunch of times on other forums, and doesn't seem to listen. The link he tried to post was to mkusb, which he was told about 6 times. Doesn't seem to sink in for him that slow media is slow, and he seems to think Mint was designed to be used from USB with no issues. And if I've read their other forum threads right, theyve been using the same USB stick for YEARS now, just reformatting. Telling them about bad cells and flash drive life doesn't sink in either.
You can use mkusb (and other tools) to actually install to a thumbdrive, and partition it. But why bother? There are actual distros like puppy and tails that are made to run like that, so they run faster. Mint ain't one of them.

NAME
bio - I/O abstraction
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/bio.h>
TBA
DESCRIPTION
A BIO is an I/O abstraction, it hides many of the underlying I/O details from an application. If an application uses a BIO for its I/O it
can transparently handle SSL connections, unencrypted network connections and file I/O.
There are two type of BIO, a source/sink BIO and a filter BIO.
As its name implies a source/sink BIO is a source and/or sink of data, examples include a socket BIO and a file BIO.
A filter BIO takes data from one BIO and passes it through to another, or the application. The data may be left unmodified (for example a
message digest BIO) or translated (for example an encryption BIO). The effect of a filter BIO may change according to the I/O operation it
is performing: for example an encryption BIO will encrypt data if it is being written to and decrypt data if it is being read from.
BIOs can be joined together to form a chain (a single BIO is a chain with one component). A chain normally consist of one source/sink BIO
and one or more filter BIOs. Data read from or written to the first BIO then traverses the chain to the end (normally a source/sink BIO).
