Ventoy is an open source tool to create a bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. With Ventoy, you don’t need to format the drive over and over, you just need to copy the image files to the USB drive, and Ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them and boot from it.

    FreeBSD support! Linux usually gets all the love here but more folks should try BSD, and now here’s a very easy way to do it.

      But you can boot stuff in KVM or Qemu or VirtualBox etc., no need to make an USB stick to try it…

        Sure, that works too, if you have the hard disk space. If not, or if that space is on a different machine, then Ventoy is pretty handy.
