Yeah, you're talking about making a live USB with the image instead of a live
CD, then booting from that. (Maybe I misunderstand you, but you did say to dd
the iso to a USB, right?) I do know how to copy the iso to a flash drive and
make it bootable. Useful, but I don't do it much.
That's not what I am doing. I am installing my complete operating system, and
all packages that I use, to a flash drive, then my flash drive itself becomes
a kind of portable computer. I partition it like the hard drive on my
computer, with /, swap, and /home partitions.
Then I just use the hardware of another computer to boot, but my flash drive
is itself a clone of the running system on both my desktop and my laptop.
That way, wherever I go, I can have my running system, with all my settings,
preferred packages, etc.

Okay, so do you mean that you are actually
installing your system to
a USB stick, or that you are copying the iso image to it, and using
it to boot like a live CD or DVD?
Not exactly, you follow the Slax instructions
<https://www.slax.org/ug/starting.php>
IIRC. In Linux, just dd the .iso to appropriate writable media (I
used a Sandisk USB 3.0 "thumb" drive. Then follow the instructions in
the readme.txt file to make it bootable.

When I boot up, I never see "Persistent
Changes" in my menu choices
(although I've heard about it). I can do a little research and see
what I discover. Once I sort out my desktop, I can try installing
Slax a USB, then see if I can figure out how "Persistent Changes"
works.
"Persistent Changes" has been broken by the builder of the "Slax with
Trinity" image. However, I'm still looking to see if I can restore
this, for me, essential feature. A post in the origin thread that
announced the "Slax with Trinity" asking for this got no response. :-(
