From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The reason you're struggling to think of anything to put on it is because you don't need to be carrying a USB drive.
No aircraft cabin crew have ever put out a call asking if there are any Linux sysadmin onboard with a copy of GParted Live v1.5.0 for 32bit ARM devices .
Well I carry it anyway for impromptu file transfers. I've just added 1gig of survival PDFs. Probably never need them but who knows
Do you have a link to the survival PDFs? I'm curious
I have a few apps like that installed, such as first aid for example. Might as well get some useful guides on my USB in case my phone is dead.
Also my recommendation
portable programs. Pick some that might be useful and add those. I have never had to use one, but I keep them anyways
Some media to pass the time. This has come in handy once or twice
extra space for large file transfers

Original Zip link is dead but someone in the comments recreated it. No idea if they're any good, hopefully I'll never look at them
You ought to read them and practice their use otherwise you'll never know if they're unintelligible when/if you need them.
Well, better to be prepared. When you are starving and freezing from cold in a forest, lost and about to be mauled by a black bear, it's nice to have that stick around so you can quickly grab it and shove it sideways up in the arse of the bear.
