Ventoy is an opensource tool to create a universal bootable USB drive for ISOs and other image files. With Ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over to create a bootable USB for different images, you just need to copy the image files to the USB drive and boot them directly via a dynamic menu.

New in v1.0.95:

  • Drag to resize Ventoy2Disk.exe dialog width.
  • Fix a bug when booting veket_24.
  • Fix a bug when booting the latest UOS server ISO.
  • New distro support: vanilladpup
  • New distro support: FydeOS 17
  • languages.json update

Does it support SteamOS? Earlier this year I couldn't get it to work

Did you download the ISO version of the Zip file?

There's an ISO? I could only find a zip file with a bz2 inside

Hmm, looks like either the ISO has been discontinued, or I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Anyways, if your intention was to try out SteamOS on a PC (or other handhelds), then a better option would be ChimeraOS, which is a community-made SteamOS with more features and better hardware support, and there's also Bazzite which is even more tweaked with goodies.

No, it was for upgrading the m.2 drive on my deck. Ended up creating a bootable usb instead, but thank you anyways!

SteamOS 3 hasn't been released as an ISO (yet?), but there's the unofficial HoloISO as a replacement.
