From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I didn't realize you can have an OS ISO and other programs on the same USB stick. I thought the live boot ISO had to be the only thing on the stick (or multiple ISOs using Ventoy).
With Ventoy you can have additional files on the same partition. However Ventoy scans everything on that partition, so additional files can slow it down. I recommend creating a directory, say named "Files" and put an empty file ".ventoyignore" into it which makes Ventoy ignore that directory and all sub-directories.
Oh that's awesome.
It works, just watch out, Windows only recognizes the first partition on a stick as possible storage device.
I looking into buying the usb-c 3.2 gen2 from Kingston with up to 1000/900 read write speed and the minimum is 256GiB so space is no issue.
