@ryan Check out #Ventoy I use it quite often and have been very happy. Once setup you can just drop ISOs onto your thumb drive and they will boot. Works great.
I'm a longlife Linux-only user. Yet sometimes we just need to boot #Windows. What's the minimum size for an external bootable windows? Are 64Gb enough? It seems that #Ventoy could be a good choice. Is there any good "persistent live light Win11" image?

I’ve been playing around with things while waiting for my new #framework laptop, and I am right now wondering why I have not played with #ventoy sooner. 🤯

That and Penguins Eggs together are awesome.

Sadly, it is only available for #linux and #windows ☹️

Потрібен доступ до флешки на #linux, але не монтується /dev/sdXY під #ventoy?
Не біда, монтуйте від рута /dev/dm-X (де 0 може бути ефі-розділ, 1 буде розділ вашої флешки). Готово!

Для запису на флешку юзайте файловий менеджер під рутом! Обов'язково!)

@Datenpunks @acmelabs Vertraut ihr #ventoy? Ich finde das ja etwas zu BLOB-haltig: https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/should-ventoy-users-be-concerned-what-remediations-could-users-take/21593 #GRUB2 mit https://github.com/Mexit/MultiOS-USB scheint mir eine vertrauenswürdige Alternative zu sein, wenn auch nicht ganz so flexibel.
Should Ventoy users be concerned? What remediations could users take?

2025 update: About 13 months later, Ventoy finally acknowledged the issue in May 2025 and it seems like they’re going to try to resolve these concerns. This issue was previously brought up on this forum a month ago under the Privacy category, but it never led to any productive discussion or advice. I hope it’s appropriate for me to ask about it under the Questions category since I’m concerned and would love to get some input and advice from others. For those who are missing the context, I’ll t...

Das sind die Linux-Distributionen, die unsere Gäste diesmal ausprobieren können.

Die Besonderheiten der einzelnen Distris werden hier gut erklärt: https://linux.how2shout.com/top-10-most-popular-linux-distributions-march-2026/

Das EN am Ende eines Menüeintrags bedeutet übrigens, dass dieses Live-System ungefragt auf englisch startet – auch mit englischer Tastaturbelegung, was unsere Gäste immer wieder verwirrt.

Besonders verwirrend ist das aktuelle Live-Image von #Lubuntu, das zwar nach der gewünschten Sprache fragt, dann aber trotzdem immer eine englische Tastaturbelegung verwendet. Deswegen fiel diese Distri bei uns weg. /c

i don't want to be a curmudgeon, some of that attitude is warranted but you still have to produce and try some things. I am working on basic 5 page site template but also bigger efforts, addressing smb mkt not just local break/fix mkt. maybe the bootable nvme idea (hardened deb) with persistence and enc - a must for the road warrior but good for anyone who values security and privacy #fido #fips #extras #working drivers #vetted #pentoo #ventoy

how does grub chainloading work? I have a laptop with a locked bios that can’t boot usb, but has grub already installed. I want to boot a windows virtual disk from a ventoy stick, but I can’t get the original grub to pass over to ventoy grub

In grub cmdline:

insmod chain set root=(hd0,msdos2) configfile /grub/grub.cfg

it goes to a blank screen, then a few seconds later

error: can't find command `vt_clear_key`. error: can't find command `vt_list_img`. error: file `/grub/themes/ventoy/theme.txt` not found.

I haven’t had to deal with grub cmdline in almost a decade so I am ignorant on how things work here
