Ooh, I've never seen installing on a pendrive being suggested before, I think. I certainly do have a couple pendrives. I'll give that a shot, since I also have a gaming wheel I'd like to test.

    When I first set up my current gaming PC, I had Kubuntu running from a 1Gb external SSD, just to check all the hardware was good before wiping the main internal SSD.

    Used it that way for weeks before figuring that I needed to get around to setting it up on the internal drive. At no point did it feel like a problem. Games were running from a 2Tb HDD, and were playing just fine.

    Also had it installed on a 64Gb thumb drive, so I could boot some of the Windows machines at work into Kubuntu for hardware testing.

    It really is extraordinary how flexible Linux can be.
