How To Create Multiboot USB Drive on Linux – Guide

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of active Linux distributions, and although many of the desktop distributions appear to be the same, there is still a lot that distinguishes them. That’s why, for most new Linux users, distro hopping — the habit of switching between Linux distributions regularly — is the only sensible way to find one you like. While many distributions now offer live installable images, which allow users to check out a distribution without having to install it, continuously formatting USB devices to create a place for the next distribution is inconvenient. ..

You can easily create USB devices with Ventoy, a program that is compatible with Windows and Linux. The program is easy to use and can be run through the terminal.
