Fedora runs well on portable USB3 SSD's (I have one NVMe and one SATA case with 128 and 256 GB drives removed from Windows systems that needed more space). These give "full" experience. Nvidia graphics may be an issue -- the Live Environment provides nouveau which may not meet the needs of some users. Over the years I've introduced Unix (SGI IRIX64, NeXT) and Linux to many users (mostly PhD level biologists whose previous experience was on Windows or macOS) because they needed to use some niche command-line software for batch processing. A few users refuse to use command-line and shell processing, and would spend days with an editor creating a ".bat" script and fixing typos in 100's of lines that only differed in file names. Users new to Linux need (now more than ever as web searches increasingly provide bad advice) to have a trustworthy reference such as Linux Command on their machine. For Fedora, you might add basic references for journalctl and SElinux. -- George N. White III
