Is there any good kind of multi-distro boot option for slamming a bunch of Linux boot volumes onto a single USB drive?

@ryan That faint tune of "flight of the valkyries" you can hear is all the Ventoy fanboys launching as this post propagates.

@fwaggle dare I ask, does it at least work?

[sysgeek@fosstodon.org]

@ryan Check out #Ventoy I use it quite often and have been very happy. Once setup you can just drop ISOs onto your thumb drive and they will boot. Works great.

@ryan Mostly? I've had a couple things that didn't boot with it properly, but it mostly works as advertised.

IIRC some of it is not adequately open-source (UEFI blobs or something) and the dudes get really weird about it when it's brought up, but yeah it seems to mostly do the job.

@fwaggle first stab at it and it seemed to work on the first try!
