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.

So it begins.
I've been flashing my USB often enough that it's now worth it to keep all my ISO's neatly to use them when I need them. I plan on buying 10 USB sticks to just have ready when ever I need a specific version.
I'm visiting family now, so time to upgrade their Linux Mint to Kubuntu
Ventoy for most, but some stuff doesn't work with correctly when booted from ventoy:
ChromeOS Flex won't install to internal drive when ventoy booted, it will when flashed directly to a usb.
also had Linux Mint 22 try to install to the ventoy drive (wiping it and then crashing halfway through)
and dealing with really old 32bit bios laptops you'll have to use direct usb too (AntiX still supports 32bit)
I’ve had issue with proxmox from Ventoy but other than that it’s great.
This has been fixed since some versions of ventoy.
