Greetings gentlemen!
There is an NVMe SSD for M.2 at 256. I decided to make a flash drive out of it. Anyone with experience please share. A few questions:
1. Which adapter to take?
I heard that there are difficulties with NVMe. I would like the possibility of USB 3.0, which is type-c and normal, in a single form factor.
2. Which Linux to take?
By itself, the computer is running Windows 10 and Ubuntu. I thought to install some lightweight distribution kit so that it would work well on simple computers if there was a need to plug it in. I would like everything to remain familiar compared to Ubuntu. Or will there not be much difference compared to it in terms of performance?
I don’t think that I will stick into a very old iron, at least into some simple Core Duo of the year 13-15, or whatever they have there on a budget now.
3. How to make a separate partition just for memory on the same bar more competently?
256g will be quite fat for the OS, I want to leave 150 gigs just for data. So that you can plug into the same Windows 10 and download / upload something.
PS Are there any special Lin's settings so that it doesn't burn out quickly, but burns long and brightly. Or is it not as critical for an SSD as it is for flash drives?
Thanks in advance for your comments :)

Nothing will work.
At least I have never met such adapters, and have not even heard of their existence.
It is doubtful that someone would do such a thing, it just doesn't make sense. Think for yourself - the meaning of NVMe reflected in the name is low latencies, and USB means huge latencies.
All existing adapters work only with SATA drives.

are there any special Lin settings so that it doesn’t burn out quickly, but burns long and brightly. Or is it not as critical for an SSD as it is for flash drives?

Not critical, at least as much as you can record.

Make SATA external via USB 3.0 anyway, you will not achieve higher speed than USB 3.0
