I recently discovered ventoy and it’s so useful. Don’t have to flash isos anymore and can have a whole iso library. So useful.

    Next time you feel the need to tell everyone how useful something is it might be good to include what it actually does so others do not have to google it themselves.

    https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html

    Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. With ventoy, you don’t need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly. You can copy many files at a time and ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them (screenshot). You can also browse ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files in local disks and boot them. x86 Legacy BIOS, IA32 UEFI, x86_64 UEFI, ARM64 UEFI and MIPS64EL UEFI are supported in the same way. Most types of OS supported (Windows/WinPE/Linux/ChromeOS/Unix/VMware/Xen…)

      That site gives me sketchy vibes. Lol maybe because one of the nav items is just named “Document”

        It’s probably an issue of English not being the first language, or of translation. It’s obviously a link to Documentation, which is a pretty safe assumption when you see a nav item named Document. You could have confirmed this yourself by simply following the link.

    The sketch factor on this software is over 9000. I would never run it

      Why do you say that? The website is a little ugly in parts (the colored text bulleted list near the bottom) but it doesn’t look “sketch” at all.

      And if you can get past some poorly designed home page for a project, they publish the source with supposedly 101 contributors.
