Why is everyone suggesting ventoy and stuff and no one is telling you to just reformat drives you no longer need? Or are they all live OSs in use? Am I missing something?
We like data hoarding ;) !
Correct answer, pxe boot your iso and transcend the need for boot usb sticks
Teach us your ways sensei
You can also netboot into iscsi drives which is another entire level of awesome.
I got a 128GB dual connector usb-c/usb-a drive, and installed ventoy on it. I have my normal files and for my ISOs I simply put them in the ventoy folder. It works really well.
Wait until you discover ventoy
I’ve tried three times and it’s never worked for me :/
I tried the hybrid that works under UEFI and legacy BIOS. It didn’t work on at least one system. Did you try UEFI only?
Ventoy, as everyone else says, is your friend here.
Though I saw something similar in a video recently which I’m gonna call out for completeness, the IODD devices that let you change the image on the fly:

Obviously not as cheap as a usb stick and ventoy, but a pretty cool alternative for those with the additional use cases
What’s a use of USB sticks anyway outside of booting operating systems? They perform worse (or on par at best) than modern wifi adapters
I had an oral to pass for my graduation and I needed to put my slides somewhere (PDF)
I’ve not tried netboot yet but that might also be a cool option for people who like to install new ISOs often. Ventoy gang for life, tho
