With ventoy, you don’t need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO files to the USB drive and boot them directly. Whats ventoy? Ventoy is a free and open-source utility used for writing image files such as .iso, .wim, .img, .vhd(x), and .efi files onto storage media to create bootable USB flash drives. Once Ventoy is installed onto a USB drive, there is no need to reformat the disk to update it with new installation files; it is enough to copy the .

      Reading through the issue on github, if you check the blob directories there are at least some level of documentation on how to build them yourself. I haven’t personally tried (rarely need to use ventoy in the first place), but at least thats something

        I have tried–the instructions are woefully inadequate. I tried following them to build Ventoy and had to make numerous modifications just to get the first couple of components to build. At that point I gave up

    The amount of advertising for this tool in recent times is starting to look a lot like astroturfing.

    Do keep in mind that Ventoy works differently from flashing tools like BalenaEtcher. Those differences may break certain ISOs, though in my experience that’s rare.

      For some reason, it didn’t work on OpenBSD. I couldn’t install the file sets until I wrote the image to the flash drive normally.

    Really useful tool!

    It even helped me as my Surface Go didn’t want to boot on a USB drive, but accepted to boot on it through Ventoy.

    It’s one of these miracle software 👍

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.
