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!

Yes. Installing linux in the first place involves putting it on a flashdrive and booting into it.

Full disclosure though: it wont exactly be the fastest system on an external drive.
