Ventoy: Bootable USB Solution

Finally, this is the best option for a bootable usb...

With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly.

How to

Firs download the last release

Then get inside in ventoy directory, you will see a bunch of files. The one we're using is VentoyWeb.sh

In the terminal run

When the installation is done, disconnect your usb and connect it again, then copy all the ISO files in it.

The USB es ready to boot, you will see a boot menu showing all the ISOs (operative system)

You can copy and delete the ISOs over and over again. Also you can copy regular files in the USB not just ISOs
