Probably one that can live boot and run right off of USB. There’s a computer, you might be able to use it without knowing how to log on by booting from that stick. Now you might send/receive messages in a dire circumstance.
Also, having a live USB is really handy for doing PC maintenance when the installed OS gets borked somehow.
Check out Ventoy, it’s a utility that lets you boot up any disk image from usb storage. For me, it condensed a keyring full of single-purpose flash drives down to just one.
These are stuff then generally stay in the bag between trips. Stuff like a water bottle I add before almost any long trip out.
An emergency Linux install USB drive?? In what scenario would you imagine you would need that?
