Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drives for ISO/IMG/VHD(x)/WIM/EFI files. With Ventoy, you don’t need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the disk images to the USB drive and boot them directly. You can have multiple images on the disk and Ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them.

    I just discovered Ventoy this past week or so and haven’t had any issues with any ISO I’ve thrown at it.

    It’s my new favorite utility.

      That’s interesting, because I could never get Ventoy to work, and I tried multiple times with multiple distros (and Windows).

      Hopefully this update fixes that, but it might be good to mention that YMMV.

      It didn’t work with windows for me, so I’ve defenestrated it from my USB sticks.

        I was able to use it for Windows recovery and as Windows 10 install media with no issues. Sorry it didn’t work for you though.

          Its no big deal, I’m happy being able to try out various distros (including a rescue-distro) from one USB stick. I rarely need to boot windows from a stick.

          Glad it worked out for you! 😊

    Ventoy is a tool I want to use and that would regularly fix issues when I am simultaneously provisioning and diagnosing a system.

    But it feels like it breaks if you even look at it in an unexpected manner or if any distro updates at all.

    So end result is it works once or twice and then I need to reformat the stick to pop on mint or debian server or whatever anyway.

      Personally use Ventoy for non-Linux ISOs (ie: Windows), and everything else Linux-y I install through the netboot.xyz ISO image with Ventoy. I rarely need to update my USB stick that way, and most systems I have to deal with have access to the Internet.
