Ventoy makes reinstalling operating systems or testing Linux distros much easier.

Install Ventoy once, then simply copy ISO files to your USB drive, no need to reformat it every time you add another image. It also supports multiple operating systems, Secure Boot, persistence, and many rescue tools.

It is open sourceish. There have been some binaries that have unclear provenance that were committed into the source. The creator was working on fixing those issues though.

Thats still a problem? Damn that seems like it was years ago that it was raised.

Seems to be. There is also 800 issues open, which suggests they might be drowning a bit.
