Introduction
#

Since it is a hassle to write an iso to a USB memory every time you install Linux, I wanted to create an all-in-one package that includes multiple Linux distributions on one USB.

Procedure
#

This time we will be working with Ventoy. Ventoy is an open source tool that creates bootable USB drives.

  1. Visit the official Ventoy website and select Download. Since this procedure uses Linux, download ventoy-1.0.97-linux.tar.gz.

  2. Unzip the folder, open a terminal at the path below, and execute the following command.

    $./VentoyGUI.x86_64
  1. The GUI will start up, so click Install and proceed with OK to all warnings.

  2. Now that you have a versatile USB disk, all you have to do is insert your favorite ISO file into it.

Points to note
#

If Secure Boot is enabled in the BIOS, an error will occur during startup, so please disable it in the BIOS.
