Not all of us are comfortable running the latest devel release on our
own computers (bare metal) because it would interfere with other
things we need.
I meant testing from a live disc or an external drive.
Doesn't always catch all the problems - I've seen Live images work but then
explosions after install. (Ask Ubuntu has a lot of these types of questions
stated, and the after-installation tests are more indicative of bigger problems
than from live images)

Ubuntu and the Ubuntu community flavours will often work, when installed
to a USB drive or memory card.
I am often testing like that. The computer is usually empty (no internal
drive). The 'main installed system' resides in an SSD in an external
USB3 and eSATA box, and when I unplug it, the computer is safe for
various testing experiments booted from other external drives.
There is also a small risk to damage hardware. Ten years ago I burned a
graphics card, when I messed with DSL (Damn Small Linux). Ubuntu has
been very nice to the hardware all the time, so I am not worried.
Best regards
Nio
