Can I use Linux from a portable Hard Drive to use whenever/wherever I need it? (kbin.social)

So if I have my Desktop at home, my personal laptop, and my laptop I use for work/business trips, can I have my own personal Linux setup on a portable drive that I can plug into and boot into from any of my devices? Like a cloud Linux setup, but I'm the cloud. Fear my cumulonimbus rumbles!

I think you can simply install a Linux distro on a USB drive. You should use something fast like a USB-C hard drive and you'll have to think about where to put the boot loader. But if you're careful, what you have in mind should work.
