For you, what is that thing that you call Ubuntu portable ?

Your question shows lack of research, use simple Google search google.com/?q=ubuntu+on+usb+stick or put your question into the search. If you use Ubuntu, look into the usb-creator-gtk, it is accessible from dashboard too, it can create installer USB and also run as Live CD.

Download the iso from ubuntu.com/download. Follow steps in ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows to make a Live USB. When you boot from the live USB you can install it or just 'try' it.

This site is for official Ubuntu distros only, besides Portable Ubuntu Remix is discontinued 2011. But you can easily install Ubuntu to USB as portable OS if that is what you have in mind.

-1 Why should I use Windows, when I can do the same with Linux/Ubuntu?

[DJCrashdummy]

at least UNetbootin (since it is cross-platform) will make more sense!

@A.B. to make Flash USB boot in Linux/Ubuntu he/she needs a Linux machine. It's chicken / egg issue.

I believe Rufus is the currently recommended installation tool. ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows

Download standard Ubuntu and the Ubuntu family flavours via releases.ubuntu.com . Use the following tools to create a live USB drive with Ubuntu: Rufus in Windows; the Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and newer versions. Disks alias gnome-disks or mkusb in older Ubuntu and other linux distros; Unetbootin or dd in MacOS. Warning: dd is dangerous, so check and double-check.
