I'd like to have both live-usb linux distribution and some random data stored on the same usb stick. So that if I plug it in and tell bios to load from it, live partition will be started, and if I just plug it in when some other OS is already running, only the data partition will be visible and will act as a regular usb stick. Is it possible?

Depends on whether “some other OS” includes Linux or not. – Daniel B Nov 28 '19 at 14:43

It is possible to hide the boot partition from Windows, but not from Linux. Is that interesting for you? – harrymc Nov 28 '19 at 15:00

It will also act as a Live Compact Disk even on Linux, as long as the Operating System is already started. – user1018743 Nov 28 '19 at 15:06

Yes, you can do a multiboot USB drive with one or many ISO images inside. If you boot from it, you choose the ISO, but otherwise you can use the stick normally.

Why the downvote? It seems to me that's exactly what the OP asked ... – Eduardo Trápani Dec 2 '19 at 12:28
