Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Multiboot USB<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest barrier to entry for installing Linux is creating your first installation media and booting to it. These days, it looks like downloading a program like either Rufus or Balena Etcher and burning a USB thumb drive with a 1 to 4 GB .ISO file, almost always turning the rest of your 8 to 64 GB USB drive into dead weight. If you intend to continue exploring Linux, it\u2019s easy to get in the habit, and soon you will have a collection of spent USB drives mucking up your search for the one drive you saved to transfer text files or pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The solution is to get a large USB and multiboot it using a utility like Ventoy or YUMI. My experience was with installing Ventoy from Linux, and it was as simple as creating any other USB-based bootable media. Since then, whenever I am instructed to \u201cburn\u201d a .ISO file to disk, I just copy it to Ventoy and it shows up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s more is while I was researching for this post, I learned that it even comes with a Windows installer. As usual, be sure to offload any files you wish to keep as they will be lost while setting up Ventoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Takeaway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I consider my Ventoy USB to be the most useful tool in my possession. I highly recommend it for anyone learning Linux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Question<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the entire array of Linux distributions to try out, which ones do you keep around on your master USB drive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I look forward hearing your answers in the comments below or on my <a href=\"https:\/\/letsbuildroboticswithshadow8472.com\/index.php\/discord-invite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Socials<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Morning from my Robotics Lab!
