    You can install it onto a USB key. A search for it gives a lot of results. That’s, ah, about as far as I’ve gotten into the process (oh and I’ve bought a couple of usb flash drives), but it’s looking promising. I might even make some progress and click one of those links tonight, though not sure if I’m feeling that ambitious today.

      If you’ve got a sizable USB drive, try Ventoy! Then you can put a bunch of .ISOs on it and boot from any one you want. It’s good for trying distros, or sharing Linux with others, or even putting recovery/rescue software on it. Like if you want to run memtest or alter partition data with Gparted or rescue a system that’s not booting.

      Great tool to have. You can even use the leftover space like a normal flash drive and it doesn’t mind!

        Ventoy is so awesome! It’s the tool I wish it existed a decade ago. The entire process of creating botable usbs was so tedious and time consuming, and now it’s just copying the isos just like any other file. It works for almost any iso or img file, and even allows us to have windows isos as well.
