I dl/d the Tails, verified it w/ their browser tool, wrote it to a USB 
w/ linux Disks (=gnome-disk-utility) which was suggested at the Tails 
site, and booted it on the same hardware that the Ventoy SSD Tails 
failed.  That worked fine.

OIC what/where you are at.  I don't have any experience using a device 
in a lib'y or cafe, but when I used to shop at a big hardware 
storefront, they would have demo PCs setup, and I would want to know 
about the hardware's compatibility w/ linux, so I would take a USB stick 
in to boot a live linux.

But, I can't predict if the lib'y or cafe would disable such a 'trick'. 
If it were 'my' lib'y or cafe, I would. :-)
