USB Persistence for LL v6.0

[Francois]

The laptop was connected to a WiFi network for these. For the following, I disabled WiFi networking and disabled networking (both through the system tray icon checkboxes), then rebooted:

Code:

It is more than just the boot process, however: for instance, launching Chrome took over 5 minutes. My installation is fresh, except for installing updates and the NVidia proprietary drivers 515.

Would it help if I ran the same commands with the same drive and computer, but with Linux Lite v5.8?

Thank you for your replies!
