If you don't have a raspberry and you don't have a specific computer or you want to isolate yourself from the hardware, you can mount EmbassyOS(start9) in a virtual machine. With gnome boxes it works very well but you can also use VirtualBox or any hypervisor you can think of. It is convenient that the hypervisor allows passthrough to add an external disk.

EmbassyOS allows you to add an external disk in its configuration and also has recovery tools, the data stays on this external disk and if you need to transfer the data to another virtual or physical machine with Embassy it is very easy.

I add manual with all the possibilities of recovery and transfer.
