make a live iso from installed system

Hello, is there a way to make the installed system into a live iso, so that I can put it on a USB drive and boot it from somewhere else and it includes my favorite software?
Trisquel users used to use remastersys for doing this some years back, but I don't know if that is still a valid option. I've read that remastersys may be abandoned at this time. You can search the forum for various old threads on using remastersys.
There's a cool looking newer project called penguins-eggs that will create a live ISO from your Debian-based or Ubuntu-based distro: https://github.com/pieroproietti/penguins-eggs
That page has instructions on installing penguins-eggs via a PPA:
curl -fsSL https://pieroproietti.github.io/penguins-eggs-ppa/KEY.gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/penguins-eggs.gpg
echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture)] https://pieroproietti.github.io/penguins-eggs-ppa ./" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/penguins-eggs.list > /dev/null
sudo apt update && sudo apt install penguins_eggs
I haven't tried penguins-eggs, if you do try it, please let us know if it works for you. It says it is "dual licensed under the MIT or GPL Version 2 licenses".
I try two ways and both work 1.penguins-eggs
2.systemback from https://github.com/MaranBr/Systemback
the live iso made by them can boot from my usb drive
