I personally always have one USB stick with me that has a live usb boot of Fedoraon it, but I just saw the new video from Linus tech tips and thought about extending it a bit.
He mostly talked about windows tools, but I think I will add
- https://www.ventoy.net/en/download.html for maybe an additional Linux light version
- https://github.com/TheWaWaR/simple-http-server if I have to share files from a broken Computer or so.
What are you using or do you have recommendations?
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.
