I have a flash drive in which I'd like to install trisquel 7.0 since there are many debates on what filesystem will make your flash memory live longer I have decided to use the F2FS filesystem however trisquel 7 has the kernel 3.13 Is there any way to install a more recent kernel version? I also want to create a customized live environment for trisquel as I do on debian but I have not found any tutorial in creating a live usb iso-hdd for trisquel. but it looks like theres not much differences from ubuntu and debian since ubuntu is based on debian which is trisquel is based on

trisquel > ubuntu > debian

I installed Parabola in an encrypted / with f2fs and btrfs in /boot

Grub doesn't support F2FS you will need syslinux

Here is the tutorial I used:

The video is pretty straightforward.

Don't be afraid of Parabola it works great and it hasn't give me a problem in over 6 months.

If you decide to use this tutorial just remember to update syslinux every time you update the kernel. But you will see how to do it in the tutorial.
