one is the one u want linux installed . that is called the target drive
then another usb to be the installer medium . or use a burned DVD if applicable
ideally, it is 100x better if the 'target' device is a usb-hdd, or usb-ssd

- also see this article, read it over well and note the picture, re: persistence https://www.linuxuprising.com/2019/08/rufus-creating-persistent-storage-live.html
note, this is for light-use only. a heavy use will either freeze or break the usb flash drive with such heavy write-operations that web browser caching and OS caching do
plus on usb sticks, it's slow overall.
