USB Boot Persistence, Need Help

[Claymore1001]

Recently I've been trying to create a USB boot version of Mint Linux I've been recommended Rufus by a friend. Using Rufus I've booted it fine and well but I had no idea that the system reset after shutting down. After researching the problem online I've learned that I needed Persistence and have tried some commands on the system with no avail, I've seen online that there are apps like Rufus that supposedly can make the boot persistent, but I'm not in the mood to download random apps on my computer. If necessary I might, but I'm hoping that someone might know of commands on Linux Mint 19 cinnamon 32bit That could fix my problem.

 

P.S. if the operation system is a problem I could use something else like Ubuntu

There are wikis and guides for making persistence but many people have already done this work for you. Here are a few distros made for USB:

these two are customizable
