How do I make a persistent live USB of Ubuntu 16.04?

All the Ubuntu USBs I've tried making are all either
A. Persistent but don't even show up on the boot menu of other PCs
B. Not persistent, show up in the boot menu of any PC, but it says something like "BUG: Soft lock CPU #0 not responding for 23s" over and over; They do boot into the PC on which they were first made on
Here are the steps that I've tried to make the USB:
- Download unetbootin
- Download Ubuntu ISO
- Use unetbootin to put ISO on a USB
- Boot into USB
- Insert another USB
- Install Ubuntu into the newly inserted USB by formatting it with ext4
- ???
- Profit
^ That's what I've gathered from Google and Youtube and it's not working.
I'm hoping someone here knows how to actually make a USB I can take from PC to PC and keep my data
Thanks for reading and I hope I explained my problem properly :DD
EDIT: I asked my Dad and he told me to disable my SATA drive and make it think the USB is the actual drive and now it works. I WASTED SO MUCH TIME ON THIS :DDDD

Or maybe it's not a duplicate... I guess it depends if you want a general solution ("How do I install Ubuntu on a flash drive") or a specific solution ("How do I fix this boot problem with Ubuntu installed on a flash drive").

Yes, if you want an installed Ubuntu system on a USB drive, it is a good idea to disconnect the internal SATA drive. Such a system is very flexible and robust, and fairly portable between computers. It is also possible to create a persistent live system with mkusb, it is very portable between computers, and fairly flexible and stable if you are cautious. So there are advantages and disadvantages with both systems. You can even have a drive (fast USB 3 pendrive or better SSD) with both of these systems in the same drive.

If you want a USB drive that is bootable on different machines it should work both BIOS and UEFI. It might also contain an OS for newer machines and a lighter OS for older machines. If you plan on keeping the drive for a while note that a full install is more stable than a persistent one see: askubuntu.com/questions/1083330/…

If you want a USB drive that is bootable on different machines it should work both BIOS and UEFI. It might also contain an OS for newer machines and a lighter OS for older machines. If you plan on keeping the drive for a while note that a full install is more stable than a persistent one see: askubuntu.com/questions/1083330/…
