Your assumption is correct. My desktop PC is an HP EliteDesk G2 Mini with two USB drives (one HDD, one SSD) typically hanging off of it. Both external drives as well as the internal drive are bootable. Each drive has its own ESP. No problem booting one of the external drives on any of my laptops

Although I haven't entirely given up looking at different distros, I don't do nearly as much sampling as I used to. My current desktop hardware is well-supported by Fedora. Except for Waterfox Classic, if it's not in the Fedora or RPM Fusion repo, I typically don't want or need it.

It's a binary ready to go once unpacked. WC is a FF-57 type browser, and uses the old FF add-ons. User-agent-switcher doesn't satisfy my bank, even when I disable or remove uBlockOrigin and NoScript, although it helps with many other sites. Speed-wise, I don't notice any obvious speed difference
