I've recently started playing with Linux again after a 10 year break and used to use Ubuntu Ultimate Edition for browsing, light gaming, Skype and media - MX Linux ( (Debian based like Ubuntu) has got my attention for running well off a persistent live usb ( full graphic card support on a AMD E450 system) and Manjaro ( most hardware support on Chuwi Hi10) but still have managed a usb install - They both look worth a try - I also found trying different usb creators could make an iso bootable if others failed: Rufus 3.8.8, UUI 1.9.8.8, and multibootusb each worked for different distros...
