I am preparing an USB stick in case I need to spend a long period of time offline, with everything I would need to continue to do my usual stuff. I will set the maximum size to 64GB.

I will need some sort of operating system, and one that I have full control of and would last forever. For this reasons, something like debian would be great.

The USB will have two partitions: a bootable one with the linux distribution and a data one. The data will have the following content:

• Music: A local music directory
• Offline Encyclopedia: download wikipedia sections, right know I have computer science, math and history.
• Offline documentation for SDL3, opengl, cairo.
• source code: source of the linux kernel, various desktop utilities such as a window manager (dwm), SDL3, cairo.
• compiler for C code (gcc).
• Text Editor (emacs).
• Multimedia libraries: ffmpeg and vlc, libpng
• Other libraries: opengl
• Offline rfc browser (rfc-mode)
