You use “directly” three times. Remove all instances of the word from your post and reread it. Does the post make sense to you still? Does it have the same meaning?
I am not trying to be a dick, I want to make sure the word does not have a meaning I am not aware of in this context or if Linux is installable to a USB drive ‘indirectly’ but that does not make sense to me.
Can you rephrase what you are trying to do?
I want to install Debian on the USB drive from my currently running OS, Manjaro Linux.
I don’t want to have to boot from Debian installation media to install it on the USB drive.
You could use the Debian cloud image. Just download the “no cloud” option and then grow the partitions
