"Ventoy" is an open-source tool that allows you to put multiple .iso files on a USB stick. Has anyone tried it? <https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventoy> Why do I care? When I want to install Fedora, for example, I fetch a .iso file and dd it straight to a USB stick. The result is a bootable live Fedora system that can install Fedora to a disk drive. This same procedure works for Ubuntu and a lot of other distros. One downside is that I have a collection of USB sticks that each has a .iso file. Each USB stick is mostly empty because .iso files are smaller than current USB sticks. Ventoy might allow me to use a single USB stick for my whole collection.
