A problem I see here is that virtualization software are different
across platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac) and have different support of USB
sticks.

For example VirtualBox is cross-platform but the free software version
doesn't allow to use USB sticks. Libvirt allows you to install and use a
USB stick but is only available in Linux. I don't know about the others...

That said, I wouldn't be against including instructions for Libvirt on
Linux if someone volunteered to write and maintain them. Do you want to
give it a try?
