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.

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…)
From the description sounds similar to ultimate boot cd or Hiren’s boot cd
Worth pointing out that while ventoy is open source, iventoy is not. Might be important to some people.
Code is on Github You can download the source there
“The open source part of iVentoy” is on GitHub. Perhaps it’s not completely open?
No idea, it works for me
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.
You’re right, I’m being judgemental about the English stuff… I think Im just especially suspicious of software that is written by people who clearly have the skills to pwn my machine when the software has access to ring0 and is used to boot and install entire oses. It’s a malware gold mine. Even if the project is completely on the level, it’s a high value target for adding malware because of the level of control you get over a machine (just like grub or syslinux of course, I’m mainly thinking about iventoy for that point). Plus as an American I’m definitely automatically more suspicious of software from China :/ not great but it’s true.
Well, now you know. That’s the reason I joined so many communities related to FOSS and Linux to get to know what cooking :)
Sometimes it breaks.
Source: used Ventoy.
Also check your hidden directories, you delete ISOs and they stay there. Could just be Nautilus or Dolphin though.
It’s great software! I’ve only had a couple ISOs that it didn’t allow me to install on bare metal.
