Ventoy. Runs on Linux or Windowz.
Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot is it?
Well, I’ll be happy to share that with Y’all!
Run the app and it burns a .ISO on a flash drive. Now copy your Opensuse .ISO, Window .ISO, Ubuntu, Mint… Whatever onto the flash drive, cram it into a port on your PC, boot from it and select which OS you want to install from the menu.
You’re welcome.
Don’t recommend this tool. It is not supported by openSUSE as it regularly breaks user installations by adding arbitrary kernel command line parameters…
Moving to Open Chat. As with other recommendations of this nature, users are best advised to do their own research before making a decision to use such software.
yea everyone love ventoy. even i heard some issues for opensuse installation but it is ok for the compensation
Interesting. This from Microsoft.

This from sourceforge.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, there’s no way to verify the download hasn’t been modified by ummmm… people with, shall we say, large holes in the middle of their buttocks, but I can’t imagine an app being around for four years, being a problem like that.
Not that the Chinese Government would ever send a spy balloon to the U.S:)
Hmmm. Come to think of it, I’m just going to have to start installing a bunch of virtual machines.
Smoke and flames: flash drive gone.
Dude, those aren’t cigars, you’ve been smoking!
I used ventoy on all my installations all that happens that i can tell is it leaves a repository to the installation disk on the system (does not interfere with anything, can be removed)
This is standard openSUSE installer behavior and is unrelated to Ventoy.
That makes sense to me… I can see (with very dark sun-glasses,) How a Linux distro might be tampered with, but a Windows, distro? I’m just not seeing it.
Of course, I don’t know Jack… Remember that game, like 20 years, ago? Heeleyearesarious! Bought a new version for Xbox 360. So much for the adult innuendo, it’s appropriate for a few 3 year olds:-(
No issues here with the latest version of Ventoy.
Did 4 or 5 installs since the start of this year.
The checksum of the downloaded package from Github and elsewhere can be verified against their website.
This is not the problem at all. Ventoy added boot parameters to openSUSE installations which prevented the OS to work. This is documented in the documentation, several openSUSE bugreports and countless threads from user with broken systems.
Understanding the base problem is important…
Bugreports get closed as soon it gets known that Ventoy was used for installation. openSUSE devs and maintainers don‘t want to waste time for debugging unsupported 3rd Party tools…
If you really want to use it, you can do it. But don‘t promote it or expect any professionell help from openSUSE maintainers/devs as this tool is neither shipped, distributed, developed, maintained nor supported in any way by openSUSE.
