It is rather difficult to set up though for newbies and as far as I know a persistence usb stick hasnt got the same security as a standard install of LinuxMInt on a desktop/laptop harddisk or on a SSD. But if you are aware of that fact you can use a large (bigger than 128 GB) persistence usb stick to your liking. You can make a usb stick persistent, but that has a downside as well, being the simple fact that your usb stick will (guaranteed) die within a year of intense usage.
