What if we were one of the slowest 'live' distros, but one of the fastest 'installed' fully featured distros, you would never know unless you installed to HDD/SSD right?
Judging an OS by how it runs live is not an accurate comparison to an installed experience, you must be aware of this?
Consider the read/write speeds of the pen drive vs an HDD or SSD. Let's say the average USB 2.0 pen drive speed is 25/15 (generous) and the average read/write of a 7200rpm HDD is 150/150 and SSD average read/write 300/300. At HDD, you're already 7-9x faster than USB 2.0, and with SSD, up to 20x faster.
Consider 3.8 was released in February, there are going to be a large number of updates to download and install, including a new kernel.
These are just some considerations, there's also condition of hardware, bus speed etc etc.
I'm not here to convince you to run LL, we target ex. Windows users primarily and that's our focus. Can you run Windows 10 live and assess it? The information above is for educational purposes.
Food for thought.
