    Personally I use Ventoy

    Basically I can just throw a whole bunch of ISOs on a USB drive and when I boot it it brings me to a menu to pick which one I want to boot

    It’s freaking great

    I’ve got various windows ISOs and Linux distros just living on a 64GB flash drive

      Ventoy is great. It was a bit confusing when I first ran into it. It installed, but I didn’t know what happened. Lmao. I think I installed it like 10 times because it wasn’t telling me what it did, but then the light bulb went off. Aaaaaah. I was trying to install windows on a laptop and it was being a bitch on the USB stick, and Ventoy made it work.

      Yeah totally go with Ventoy. I had an external device that basically did the same thing but it was a pain in the ass. Little screen and you pick an iso on the drive and it simulated a CD rom. Ventoy is so much simpler. My only complaint is there isn’t an installer that works on a Mac so I have to use Windows. But other than that it’s awesome.
