Yeah that's the first thing I wrote in my notes, to stay far far away from dd.
Ventoy isn't in the Debian repos, but I did find a similar program there - Gnome multi writer. I've used unetbootin in the past on Ubuntu, but Debian instructions specifically say not to use a program like unetbootin for some reason. I'll give the multi writer a shot the next time I do a fresh install, thanks for the tip!
Ventoy isn't something you need to install on your system. It's a boot loader that gets installed on a flash drive. You can just copy ISO files to the flash drive and pick which one you want from the boot menu.
MultiWriter is basically just doing the same thing dd does, but with a GUI.
