Oh, I always partitioned when I needed to do that. This seems easier though, thanks!

Ventoy is an OS.
It’s a live Linux that boots from the USB stick you format/image with the ventoy tool. The rest of the space on the USB stick is configured to be essentially a standard USB drive.
The live Linux’s sole purpose is to boot another image stored on the USB stick.

So, once you have "ventoy"d a usb stick, you can plonk gparted live iso, Ubuntu, Debian, Eos, W10, W11… whatever isos you want. When you boot from that USB stick, you get the ventoy menu screen and select the iso you want it to continue to boot.

Basically, a bootloader on a usb stick

Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. With ventoy, you don’t need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly. You can copy many files at a time and ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them.

Its like grub but for your iso’s. You install ventoy, drag your iso’s into the ventoy folder and bam you got a grub like selection of all your iso’s
