I know about Clonezilla and copy pasting partitions with gparted, but can I just use dd to copy a partition with batocera to a USB stick and will it then boot from the stick? Do I have to set the boot flag or take any other steps?

Thank you for any tips.

      You mean tearing?
      As in video screen tearing?

      There is also tar which is a very common archiving system, so tarring=archiving

      Stay away from debian/ubuntu if you really want to learn linux. They dictate how you do things so much you will never learn how to do it.
