I’ve spent hours on MX fluxbox, but wasn’t able to make the brightness and the time adjustments permanent.

I boot it from my live USB stick by the way.

    Not generally on a live USB. They’re specifically designed so when you reboot everything goes away.

    If you want things to stay you could fully Install onto the USB, make your changes, and have them be saved.

        start the distribution instalator and select your usb stick as the installation drive. you might have to boot it live from a second usb stick to install on the first - i’m not sure.

        or use live usb persistance as i said in my other comment.

          I need a second USB drive for that ??

          I was fortunate enough to find out even this one.

            Maybe you don’t, idk. Installing a new system on a drive the current system is running from seems weird, but maybe the live iso is loaded to ram first. Either try it or search the internet.

    You can create a second partition on the usb stick and use that to store data. The following link is not for your distro but it should give you an idea of how to do it.

    https://www.kali.org/docs/usb/usb-persistence/

    You can also encrypt your second partition to keep it more secure.

    This does not enable persistence on your distro, but you could write and save scripts that make all your desired changes every boot.

    Live USB is an static image that boots fresh. I think there was a distrobthat had a secondary partition to hold user data.
