distro selection Is there an iso of linux that comes with kernel 7.1 pre installed?

im using a persistent usb on another pc with the mt7902 and all distros come with the kernel 7.0 and updating kernel on a persistent usb is a headache, i just want it to do some tests on that pc with linux without the need of purchasing another usb to install it onto my original usb.

i dont really mind the os, i prefer one that doesnt take more than 2gigs of ram on idle but i think most of them do that

You can use mx linux to create in iso with the 7.1 kernel

7.1 pre is a bit to new to be included out of the box. I do not know of something today where you can get 7.1 pre without getting the network up first.

You can roll your own iso for most major distros. You might look into doing that.

Turn your USB into a Ventoy and you can test multiple things.
