From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There's ventoy https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html
Wanna weigh in for whatever it's worth.
Was super excited when i found Ventoy. Had 2 partitions on the same flash drive, 1 for Ventoy and .isos and one for backing up various files. It was supposed to be the one to rule them all.
When it came to actually using Ventoy to create a new Linux installation, the installation failed and the Ventoy partition became completely corrupted, rendering it unusable and the .isos were gone.
Not sure what happened, but going with Ventoy is not really worth the hassle if I can reliably flash a usb drive that I know will work.
This, I had hear of Ventoy for a long time. The idea is splendid you have a bootable drive where you can load all your OS ISO, tools and whatever it need to boot from a drive.
