'persistence' is used on the Debian Live USB as a way of saving
settings and /home, etc.  I suspect setting that up is more complicated
than you would like, though.

I recommend Debian to USB (not Debian Live) because it'll give you a
more traditional Debian installation in terms of file layout, etc.
