In this video, I show you how I installed Ubuntu Linux directly onto an external SSD — step by step. 💻
This is the perfect setup if you want to try Linux without wiping your main drive or dual-booting your system.
You’ll see how I:
• Prepared the SSD for installation
• Booted from USB and selected the correct drive
• Installed Ubuntu safely to run completely from the external SSD
Whether you’re testing Linux for the first time or setting up a portable development environment, this guide will help you get started the right way.
