Installed Linux for the fist time in Feb, I've now started saving ISO's
(media.piefed.social)
So it begins.
I've been flashing my USB often enough that it's now worth it to keep all my ISO's neatly to use them when I need them. I plan on buying 10 USB sticks to just have ready when ever I need a specific version.
I'm visiting family now, so time to upgrade their Linux Mint to Kubuntu
Uh... you do know that people don't literally save a bunch of Linux ISOs, right? It's a euphemism for collecting less legit things, like pirated media or porn.
By the time you want to install the same distro again, it's likely that a new version will be out and you'll want to re-download it anyway.
You can always just use the version you have and run an update after it's installed.
Speak for yourself. I have ISOs saved for my virtual machine "OS Museum" full of all kinds cool stuff like Damn Small Linux, TempleOS, Haiku, Hannah Montana Linux, the version of Mandrake Linux that came with the Sims 1 installed ... Etc.
551GB of ISOs here. Most are very old.
