I just did a live USB install (for science and inspired by this thread) and set it up for both root and home persistence and both worked fine. Installed a few programs, removed a couple, saved some files in home, all were still there after a reboot. I also set up a separate DATA partition which I shouldn't have - used a 16GB micro SD card in a USB adapter, making 8GB data partition doesn't leave much room for expansion so I will change that. I read the section in the manual about the Live-USB-Maker and watched the instructional video by dolphinoracle linked from there. Twice. For the Chromium problem, make sure you have the package chromium-sandbox installed. Apparently Synaptic misses it but it's ok if you install Chromium with MX Package Installer.

Hello, Pretty common scam, unfortunately. Best to ensure you're buying direct from Amazon (NewEgg, etc.) or the manufacturer to avoid such scams. Even then, it's still possible to get stung if the inventory is mixed (I think Amazon might sometimes mix and match their own and third-party inventory i their warehouse, possibly to save on distance that pickers have to move when fulfilling your order).

securitybreach, now I think I see what's up with that Anarchy repo. 2nd screenshot in the "Select Your Software" section here: https://www.maketecheasier.com/anarchy-linux-review/ So the repo wasn't added during the installation that I did because I didn't choose anything from there, looks like. I certainly would have avoided doing so if I even noticed that -- the reason I tried Anarchy was to see if I could do an installation without any outside repos.
