Well, there is a loopback mount, and a unionfs. Through trail / reboot, I
discovered I can create a user, and then /home/user appears, and data
persists there. It appears I can update what's installed, but not install
new software. That's a show-stopper, as I need tomb and keepassx at a
minimum.

However, it runs so slowly as to be unusable. I suppose a faster flash
drive would help, but it is USB2. I think I'll try going dual-boot. Wish
I had USB3 on this laptop.
