a thing you install in a usb stick that allows you to have multiple bootable isos
like you can have the mint and arch isos on the same drive and etc
Is it like Rufus but fancier?
Ventoy is an OS.
It's a live Linux that boots from the USB stick you format/image with the ventoy tool. The rest of the space on the USB stick is configured to be essentially a standard USB drive.
The live Linux's sole purpose is to boot another image stored on the USB stick.
So, once you have "ventoy"d a usb stick, you can plonk gparted live iso, Ubuntu, Debian, Eos, W10, W11... whatever isos you want. When you boot from that USB stick, you get the ventoy menu screen and select the iso you want it to continue to boot.
Basically, a bootloader on a usb stick
Oh that's pretty slick thank you for the info
