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.

I have a thumbdrive with Ventoy on my desk at this very moment. It's super handy. I keep a live CD type distro on it, and my install media for Nixos and stuff.

I have like half a dozen, plus a couple old laptop SSD's in enclosures with a bunch of software so I can build almost anything - pick an OS, an choose your software. Several different windows versions and Linux distros on there.
