Making Debian or Fedora persistent live images

When you download a 'live' ISO, dd it to a USB drive, you notice that all your tweaks or installed packages vanish after a reboot. If you think about how most such 'live' ISOs work, it becomes apparent why: ISO9660 is a read-only filesystem, & the fact it was written onto a writable medium is irrelevant: its fs driver contains no implementation for writing data blocks, ...

I built a vulnerable app and spent $1,500 seeing if LLMs could hack it
