From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I recently discovered ventoy and it's so useful. Don't have to flash isos anymore and can have a whole iso library. So useful.

When I did supoort I would usually have a number of cds for different tasks. Ubcd, winpe, knoppix , a specialized winpe to restore from synology backups etc.

Some of the modern tools don’t require it. Backups are easier than ever etc.

Ventoy isn’t a new concept. I have a usb drive with a bunch of isos. Just don’t have much use. Because I’ll burn an iso when I need to with Rufus.
