Every app is portable if you clone your system drive.

>clone your system drive
just install fedora (or any other distro) on a usb stick. encrypt with luks. install redhat shim (preinstalled on fedora) to bypass M$ secureboot even on enterprise/bios-locked machines, and reboot into it from the windows picker by holding shift when clicking restart. access main ntfs partition thru linux. any pc with a usb drive can be made yours with a single restart, and leaves no data on the machine itself behind. never use windows again.
for maintenance/updates you can make a kvm vm that passes thru the usb as its boot drive, so you can access your usb linux from your main linux with no reboots.

what kind of program requires being installed?
all of them can be portable, they just choose not to, fucking cunts

Why would I do this schizo bullshit? USB sticks are slow, and if I'm using someone else's computer they'd probably appreciate me just opening their browser instead of doing this.

>Why would I do this schizo bullshit?
the whole point of portable apps is to share data across many systems, by putting on a usb or something. if you save the apps on that usb then you will probably save the data files as well. and at that point migt as well just have a full os with you.
>USB sticks are slow
usb 3 and even usb 2 is fast enough to boot and do nearly everything.
>if I'm using someone else's computer they'd probably appreciate me just opening their browser
if all you need is the browser sure, but in my case this lets me have full libreoffice + keepassxc with my pw database and preconfigured firefox with bookmarks and extensions everywhere i go, plus a shitload of debugging utils to get any system (both windows and linux) back up and running

I never paid much attention to portability, to tell you the truth. But I do prefer portable apps over installs and I remember having bookmarked a related site, hope it helps: https://portableapps.com/apps

VirtualDub

winfags are repulsive af.

>bookmarked a site
that's basically THE site

Is there any portable app for data recovery?

>>106005086
There are others, if you want portable WinRar and such.

>>106005100
Didn't WinRAR have an official portable version at one point? I may be confusing it for something else, either way PortableApps does have one reference to WinRAR on their forum, some Legacy 32 bit version for some reason: https://portableapps.com/node/70657
Either way, they've got 7-Zip on there at least.

While we're on the topic, looking into other sites yielded some interesting results. There's one guy who made portable Adobe and Office apps. I'm not sure where stuff like this stands in regard to copyright, he might get sued and shut down eventually, but I still appreciate the effort:

The rest of the sites I skimmed over didn't really stand out to me, but it does seem like a good way to find new software I guess.

Maybe sharing the link will contribute to that, anon.

>>106001036 (OP)
why?

>>106001061
What can you do with jportable? I thought it was depreciated?

>>106001061
>firefox and seamonkey
>vlc and mpc
why the bload anon?

>>106003356
do you need to activate some sort of persistance to install fedora on a usb? How do you do it? I thought most live systems needed special ways to function like antiX.

I had PortableApps' launcher on that exact flash drive back in high school. It also had U3 but that was already dying at the time.

>>106001036 (OP)
I try to use portable apps whenever possible because I hate having to install & configure shit. I love that I can just drag and drop to a new install and everything is ready.

>>106010018
the launcher sucks.

>>106010354
It was nice back when Autorun was a thing.

>>106005079
>while we Linux-chads has carry whole pendrive
careful ESL, the reddit phrases are showing

>>106010354
True, but being able to download and update programs is nice instead of going to the website.

>>106001036 (OP)
I use everything portable if possible. Makes backing up and restoring my files easier.
