I finally stopped using a million loose flash drives for OS installs

I mean, for years I'd have a drawer with like 15 different USB sticks, each with a different Windows version or Linux distro. It was a mess, especially when a client needed a fresh Windows 10 install and I'd grab the wrong one. About six months ago I set up a Ventoy drive on a 256GB SanDisk Ultra Fit, and now I just drop all the ISO files onto it. Has anyone else switched to a multi-boot tool, and which one do you prefer?

My old system was so bad I had a flash drive labeled "win10 maybe?" that turned out to be a bootleg copy of Shrek 2. I'm with you and val_craig37, a single Ventoy drive saved my sanity.

Oh man, I felt that. I had the same drawer full of mismatched drives, half of them not even labeled. I wasted so much time trying to figure out which one had the updated Windows 10 image versus the old one. Making the switch to a single multi-boot drive was such a relief. It just makes everything so much simpler.
