Ventoy. I love it so much, being able to have more than one bootable iso and storage on a usb.

Although, it is slower to boot the more folders you have, since it scans all folders, but this is configurable

I use nix-shell to get the ventoy cli for when I need to install it to a usb stick.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
