This question has already been answered:

If I install Ubuntu on a USB drive for example, will it be possible to boot from such a USB stick on any computer (like using Live USB) or during the installation, hardware-specific operations occur and what works on my hardware will not run on another. Live USB can not use as I want to save all changes to the system after a reboot. How did you solve such problems?

The Ubuntu installation image is just for live-work. You boot the computer from the installation image and then you can either work with it or start the installation. Therefore, if you create a bootable USB flash drive from the official ISO image, you can work on any computer that supports booting from a USB flash drive.

    Thanks for the answer, but the problem is that you cannot install software, drivers, store documents on the Live image ... After the reboot, everything disappears. There is certainly an option to create a section for your data, but this does not solve the issue with installing the video driver. - rewardealer
