Auto installation - this should work with Windows and any Linux distribution that support automatic installation, but it has only been tested with RHEL7/CentOS7/Fedora, Debian/Ubuntu Server and SUSE.Persistence support for Ubuntu, MX Linux, Linux Mint, Elementary OS and Zorin OS.
Ventoy comes with both legacy and UEFI Secure Boot support, and it has been tested with more than 260 ISO files, including Debian, Ubuntu (and its flavors), CentOS, RHEL, Deepin, Fedora, SLES, openSUSE, MX Linux, Manjaro, Linux Mint, Elementary OS, Pop!_OS, Solus OS, Zorin OS, Arch Linux, Puppy Linux, Tails, Slax, Kali Linux, Mageia, Slackware, Gentoo, NixOS, ALT Linux, KDE Neon, and many other Linux distributions, as well as Windows 7, Windows 8 / 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2012 / 2012 RS, 20. When you want to use this same USB drive to boot an ISO, all you have to do is copy the ISO file (or multiple ISOs) to the USB and boot from it. Delete all ISO files from it and use it as a regular USB drive (Ventoy only takes a few MB of space and is not visible when mounting the USB drive). To take advantage of the whole USB drive for other purposes, you don't have to format it. Once Ventoy is installed on an USB drive, that USB drive can be used to boot ISO files that you copy to it, but you can also copy other files to it, and that won't affect the operation of Ventoy.
It's worth noting that you can continue to use the USB stick for other purposes. You can even create a multiboot USB drive by adding ISO files for some Linux distributions and Windows ISO files on the same USB, as seen in the screenshot at the top of this page. When copying multiple ISO files to the USB drive, Ventoy provides a menu on boot from where you can choose which ISO to boot. ] With Ventoy 1.0.52, the application comes with a GUI for Linux (it already had one for Windows). It has a graphical user interface on Windows only on Linux you'll need to use it from the command line. The application is available for Microsoft Windows and Linux.
You install this tool to a USB drive, then simply copy some ISO files to the USB drive and you can boot from it with no other changes (so without having to reformat the USB drive every time you want to create a bootable USB drive, and without having to extract the ISO file contents). Ventoy is a fairly new open source tool to create bootable USB drives using Linux or Microsoft Windows ISO files.
