How Much Size Required to Write Xubuntu ISO into USB?

Question

I have a 4 GB USB stick and I am going to write the Xubuntu iso file into it. Will 4 GB be enough?

Answer 1

XFCE 20.04 Iso has 1.74 GB, so your stick is large enough.

Since the answer to this question is so obvious, I'd like to mention, that I am referring to an USB-Stick that is used to install it on a hardware.

If you want to install Xubuntu on an USB stick (not recommended but possible), then you should have at least 8GB.

Answer 2

Yes, this will work. I wrote this image on a 2GByte SD-Card.

You can write the Image on a USB-Stick to create a installation-USB-stick, so that you can install XUbuntu on your PC or Laptop with this stick.

You should use the Belena-Etcher for this, it is very easy you only have to select the right Flash-Drive. https://www.balena.io/etcher/
