Imagine needing a thumb drive to install Linux

May I introduce my lord and saviour isodrive to you? (TLDR: Allows rooted phones to mount image files, which can be used like a normal usb can)

That means I have to leave my phone plugged into the computer while it installs rather than take my phone to browse memes on while I shit or whatever

Meanwhile I mount the ISO, copy paste its contents to a ~150 GiB FAT32 partition on my HDD I used for backing up PS3 and then modify grub.cfg so GRUB can pass the correct arguments to Linux kernel.

I need to get more USB drives in my bag. For no reason.

Can confirm, Ventoy is fantastic! I just keep one 128GB USB drive with a ton of ISOs on it and that does the trick!

What do you have on it? I’ve considered setting one up, but I’m not sure what I’d put on it yet, and I don’t want to do the thing where I make something I never use.

In the uefi bios make sure Linux is the first option. If that doesn’t work delete windows.
