Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drives for ISO/IMG/VHD(x)/WIM/EFI files. With Ventoy, you don’t need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the disk images to the USB drive and boot them directly. You can have multiple images on the disk and Ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them.

    Ventoy is a tool I want to use and that would regularly fix issues when I am simultaneously provisioning and diagnosing a system.

    But it feels like it breaks if you even look at it in an unexpected manner or if any distro updates at all.

    So end result is it works once or twice and then I need to reformat the stick to pop on mint or debian server or whatever anyway.

      Personally use Ventoy for non-Linux ISOs (ie: Windows), and everything else Linux-y I install through the netboot.xyz ISO image with Ventoy. I rarely need to update my USB stick that way, and most systems I have to deal with have access to the Internet.
