HI
Ok thanks I find this method interesting and original, but I have an error message
Code:
python3 Electrum-4.4.2/run_electrum
Error: Failed to load libsecp256k1.
  0.48 | E | ecc_fast | libsecp256k1 library failed to load


Have you installed the dependencies first as it's a first step from Electrum?

Code:
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5 libsecp256k1-dev python3-cryptography

If you did but this error still comes up then try to install libsecp256k1 manually with this alternative here below

About your 2nd question, no one has done it yet here because you can run Electrum without extracting it or making a portable one.
But if you still insist why not bring your question to their GitHub page here below they might be able to help you.
