Ventoy makes reinstalling operating systems or testing Linux distros much easier.

Install Ventoy once, then simply copy ISO files to your USB drive, no need to reformat it every time you add another image. It also supports multiple operating systems, Secure Boot, persistence, and many rescue tools.

it's awesome, but there are a few things that don't boot or boot correctly off one. for those, i just use gnome disks to 'restore' an image, and overwrite a temporary usb when i need to.
