Yes - on the rpi4s, you can enable booting from usb devices directly using raspi-config, although raspbian is only 32 bit, so I wound up having to do a weird dance of using raspbian to enable usb boot and then installing ubuntu on the drive to get a 64bit OS

FWIW Raspbian has a 64 bit version in beta https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_arm64/images/raspi... the base image is outdated but you can full-system update from that point.
I'm the same way though, I just use a more typical distro unless there is something I need the standard toolset for.

Yeah, I’d seen the beta, but it looked like an early effort shortly abandoned - it didn’t inspire a lot of confidence.
Edit: although giving it a second glance, it looks like there’ve been a few updates: https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_arm64/images/

Note that Raspberry Pi OS also has a 64-bit beta version, and it's been extremely stable for me for months now.

I'll chime in that I've been using 64-bit raspberry pi OS for at least 8 months now and I haven't had any issues with it, other than a small snafu when I first tried to get Wireguard up and running but some of the base packages didn't yet support 64-bit OSes (I think?). That issue has since been fixed, I can happily report.
