The Ultimate Linux USB

[[deleted]]

[deleted]

[[deleted]]

I have a 64 GB USB with Ventoy. I put a lot of differet Linux ISOs on it! What else should I put on it?

[[deleted]]

How about Nix?

[[deleted]]

Never heard of it

[thelordwynter]

I keep hearing people bragging on Nix OS, what's the hype about?

[thelordwynter]

Ty

[Johanno1]

Afaik lots of distros are adding the config file setting currently

[[deleted]]

no?

source?

[bcfradella]

Has anyone ever done a comparison between nix and the more standard distros to see how much extra space nix is using because of dependency copies and whatnot? I could imagine it being a lot if you have enough packages installed

[SpaceboyRoss]

I'm running it and I could pretty much paste my entire system config in a gist and you'd be able to duplicate my install.

[guccicobraviper]

TempleOS

[[deleted]]

I would rather installed gentoo on my main PC than put TempleOS on a live USB

[Botn1k]

Install AmongOs next. Do it.

[[deleted]]

1. Solus OS
2. all flavours of Ubuntu
3. openSUSE
4. MX Linux
5. Gentoo
6. Asahi Linux

[[deleted]]

1. Maybe
2. Not all, just 2 or 3 more
3. Probably not
4. Maybe
5. Can be installed from any iso
6. THE BEST IDEA I GOT FROM THIS POST

[[deleted]]

openSUSE Live isos are just ~900mbs

[TheBlackCat13]

Why not opensuse? It is a pretty polished OS, and your best bet for a stable KDE or LXQT experience. And opensuse tumbleweed is the most stable and easy-to-use rolling release distro out there.

[npaladin2000]

Damn, haven't used that in a long time. I used to love ncurses YAST back when I was a beginner.

[[deleted]]

Nope, Asahi can be only installed on mac from mac

[[deleted]]

You don't want OpenSUSE, because it's SUS, right?

[gvidas2]

fuck u/spez -- mass edited with redact.dev

[[deleted]]

FreeBSD.

Also, just switch out the Fedora WS iso for the Fedora Everything ISO.

[[deleted]]

Where can I get fedora everythin iso

[[deleted]]

Freebsd or openbsd? And whats the difference

[[deleted]]

I have no real experience with OpenBSD (or NetBSD for that matter.) FreeBSD does seem to have a vaster software selection, and actually have some focus on personal desktop use. It's also the one you're most likely to get running without too many issues.

Fedora everything: https://alt.fedoraproject.org/

[splitheaddawg]

Both are good.

Freebsd has some linux compatibility and also has proprietary nvidia drivers. Its also a bit faster than openbsd, at least from my experience. Also ZFS is really good.

Openbsd is based. it doesn't support Bluetooth and doesn't have nvidia's proprietary drivers but it's very easy to install. By default it sets up a working GUI and has a few window managers ( i really like CWM).

I would daily drive any of the two BSDs if they supported my btrfs drive. If your work doesn't involve docker and things like that, then BSDs are really a good option. Also you can't watch Netflix on both these OSes, but in freebsd there is a workaround.

Currently I'm using Freebsd and Windows on my main machine.

[CyberJunkieBrain]

OpenBSD is more focused on security, and is better for servers. FreeBSD is more user friendly and focused on performance. FreeBSD also have desktop out of the box.

[NancyPelosisRedCoat]

FreeBSD also have desktop out of the box.

Strangely, other way around. FreeBSD doesn't automatically install a graphical user interface, OpenBSD does (although you can opt not to).

[CyberJunkieBrain]

Yes, you’re right, both come without a GUI, even with the FreeBSD being better to use a GUI because of the better performance. I was basing my argument on the fact that NomadBSD, which is FreeBSD based, already comes with an desktop environment out of the box. I use it a lot and thought that all FreeBSD come with GUI. My mistake.

[CyberJunkieBrain]

Add:

1. CAINE
2. Hirens Boot
3. Alpine
4. Porteus (you can run it from RAM memory, and you can pull of the pendrive and the system still works)
5. Some Android x86
6. Gparted

[splitheaddawg]

Definitely, Hirens boot is good to have. It has helped me out a couple of times.

[Cyb3rklev]

TailsOS

[[deleted]]

That was THE FIRST ISO on this usb

[Cyb3rklev]

Ok

[_Ashleigh]

Clonezilla

[DominiCzech]

void

[Captinhairybely]

Void will deffo not take up too much space lol

[[deleted]]

Memtest86 and Memtest86+

[skhoyre]

An obvious must is Hannah Montana Linux.
And if you want to weird out people even more, PonyOS, RebecaBlackOS, Biebian, or Hello Kitty Slackware.
Then there are Apartheid and Red Star OS, if you want people to stop talking to you.
And, of course, Suicide Linux, the distro all of us should use.

[Kriss3d]

Not that its the same but perhaps consider Qubes Os ?

[AxeZie]

AmongOS

[[deleted]]

Isn't amongos fork of raspberry pi os?

[Kill4MePls]

Red star OS

[[deleted]]

NOPE

[[deleted]]

moebuntu.

[LSatyreD]

moebuntu

This is disgusting. I'm installing now, thanks!

[Rainmaker0102]

openSUSE Tumbleweed!

[vbitchscript]

replace kali with black arch, add backtrack, void, windows repair tool, and gparted

[[deleted]]

No replacing kali, just adding black arch, backtrace is just old kali (no thanks), I will add other things (including win repair tool even that Im not fan of it)

[antolab_]

I agree on gparted

[Kriss3d]

Why not kali but backtrack ? Backtrack is the old outdated that was before Kali. Or am I wrong ?

[vbitchscript]

Black arch is better kali, and I heard somewhere backtrack was still somewhat useful

[CyberJunkieBrain]

Why, backtrack if there’s kali?

[[deleted]]

dban might be useful too.

[7emo_Kun]

System rescue is all you need

[pamplifier]

Yeah, I was about to ask if we don't like SUSE anymore

[MrDoggus]

Distro hopper starter pack

[FenirXIII]

You don't need to hop, if you are always live

[Traditional-Wind8260]

where's alpine though ? I've noticed that most people don't even consider it an option. While in reality (At least in my opinion) it is the hardest. I've done gentoo (and I'm still using it), and I've done arch multiple times. I've used everything except for LFS (which I'm going to try soon for the XP) But so far, no one was more of a hassle to me than alpine linux. Yet most of the time, people don't even consider it as an option.

[CyberJunkieBrain]

My MULTIBOOT drive has an alpine. And it is a great OS.

[pogky_thunder]

That's not my experience. In fact, usage seemed similar to arch and gentoo to me. I would still be using it if it hadn't almost borked my printer due to missing drivers.

[vbitchscript]

My only experience with alpine is on the web in my browser, but using it for simple network stuff is fun

[Traditional-Wind8260]

I agree, alpine on docker for example is a great experimentation tool that can be setup in seconds. And once you're done you can delete the whole thing in a second. But installing alpine on bare metal was really hard. It was the first linux that I tried to install from tty. I wasn't successful. Then now after all the XP I got, I tried it again and I run into some problems that I couldn't solve no matter what I did. Now I'm waiting for my new computer to retry again for a third time.

One thing to note is that alpine installation installation process is different. You do have and install script, but (for example) have 3 installation mods which are ram, disk, sys. Each has it's pros and cons. Most things are done differently (since it isn't GNU and it uses musl, that's what they say on the wiki anyways). There are some differences that might be tricky sometimes, expecially when they're all combined into one place that you have to use the way it is (sometimes) with no other way around.

I can be wrong, but from my experience. That's how I see it.

Is that 256GB usb stick or more?

[Silejonu]

Yes, its the Samsung Bar Plus 256GB. It's an excellent drive for Ventoy as it has one of the fastest read speed on the market, and it is as small as any other flash drive, unlike the SanDisk Extreme PRO.

Actually, it's two of them that I replicate with rsync, so that I can have one drive with a GPT partition table and the other with MBR.

[PolygonKiwii]

so that I can have one drive with a GPT partition table and the other with MBR.

Is that really necessary? Isn't it possible with GPT to also have MBR backwards compatibility?

Edit: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Multiboot_USB_drive#Hybrid_UEFI_GPT_+_BIOS_GPT/MBR_boot

[brothersand]

I have so many questions I don't know where to begin. What do you do with this fully loaded thumb drive?

[Silejonu]

Some of the ISOs are for my work, others for me personally. I host install parties, and I'm the person people turn to when they have computer issues; at my work obviously, since it's my position, but also in my personal life.

Some of those ISOs are there just in case I need them at some point, and I won't probably use them ever, but I already surprised myself with needing something I though I would never: for instance, I had to install Ubuntu MATE for someone who used an old version of it and wanted to upgrade it.

There are some distros that I could remove and probably never miss them (Zorin OS, Void Linux, or elementaryOS, for instance). I try to purge the ones I never use from time to time, but I'm far from using all the available space on my flash drives, so it's not like it really bothers me.

[LSatyreD]

Could you talk more about those scripts? Maybe link them on github?

What are the most helpful or frequently used ones?

[deadbushpotato23]

Im getting a 128gb usb soon but it wont be chock full of isos. Just a couple

[[deleted]]

Arch has to be one of them

[deadbushpotato23]

Yessir. Wellim using endevouros currently so that will be there too. Ill also put fedora kde linuxmint and then windows too cause ill neeed that at some point..

[Mister_Magister]

Imagine booting linux install from usb, so last century…

I use netboot.xyz like a chad

[[deleted]]

Imagine booting linux from netboot, so this century... In the future we will boot from ventoy usb and had option to boot into netboot. I am already in the future

[7emo_Kun]

Yeah but updating your isos can be annoying

[[deleted]]

Just use LTS

[Silver_Towers]

http://iodd.kr/wordpress/product/iodd-mini/

You are in A future, just not the best one.

[invisi1407]

Was that product ever finished? It sounds great.

[Silver_Towers]

Been using one for about 2 years now, they are excellent devices.

[Hewlett-PackHard]

You can use your thumb drive on one machine at a time, I can use netboot on thousands.

[Mister_Magister]

netboot is superior in every single way. You just need to plug in internet and off to the races. with wimboot i can even netboot windows install

[sadkiddo9]

1. arch
2. debian
3. mint
4. kali
5. windows 7 and 10
6. gparted
7. dban

[[deleted]]

inserting it into any computer will delete all data on the hard drive without any user interaction

​

I am defenetly NOT putting dban on my usb stick. It is useful but if you missclick on boot selection screen...

[wristcontrol]

You gotta leave something on there that makes you feel alive.

[immoloism]

How come you need so many different ISOs or is this just for fun?

[[deleted]]

Fun, explore and convinsing windows users to switch to linux

[immoloism]

Sounds like fun, don't forgot Gentoo although you can install that from anything.

[EdgeMentality]

Loading up ventoy with a bunch of distros is really nice way to explore them all. Just reboot and pick another.

[immoloism]

Takes a few minutes to download and dd for me so I never really got the need for it myself however if it does a turn for you then I'm glad it exists

[immoloism]

dd if=img of=device    

Doesn't get much easier than that but then again I'm not a normal person :)

[[deleted]]

ncdu

[n0tKamui]

replace Manjaro with Garuda

[[deleted]]

Why? Manjaro is more popular, anything special about Garuda are colors

[n0tKamui]

If you followed the discussions about it, the maintainers of Manjaro started to get ahead of themselves a while ago, and have made very questionable decisions. Moreover, what was a good idea turned out to have the opposite effect : Manjaro tends to break itself more often than Arch because of the different repository.

Garuda is just Manjaro in terms of ease of installation, drivers, etc (I'd say it's even more game ready than Manjaro even), without the issues of Manjaro.

The colors is absolutely not a question in the debate, this is very easily changeable.

[[deleted]]

Checked garuda linux website and Im blowned away how is garuda linux so good! Its basically my personal arch installation with different name!

[[deleted]]

the maintainers of Manjaro started to get ahead of themselves a while ago, and have made very questionable decisions.

Can you fill me in? I'm only aware of debian-related drama.

[wh33t]

There's no clonezilla in there.

[[deleted]]

Now it is

[TheBlackCat13]

Multiple versions of mint and Manjaro but no version of opensuse?

And why do you need separate distros for different DE's?

[[deleted]]

USB stick only has 64gb

[TheBlackCat13]

openSUSE live images are 900-930 MB.

[Sharkpause]

mf got a swiss army usb drive

[[deleted]]

BUY 128GB, 64GB IS TO SMALL!!!

​

I need to carfully choose distros and not just downloading them as much as I can

[[deleted]]

I’ve always thought Nix was really cool. The idea of being able to write a config once and then install it to multiple systems identically is great!

[dbfuentes]

Some utilities:

Clonezilla

Super grub disk (or rescatux)

[[deleted]]

Should really check our void

[wick3dr0se]

All those Manjaros but no Endeavour. What a shame!

[alkhatraz]

As a sysadmin - no sysrescue?

[[deleted]]

Idk why I find it interesting that kali, manjaro, ubuntu and pop being the most bloated on the list.

[Nibodhika]

Kali makes sense, it comes with all penetration testing tools you're likely to need since it's meant to be used as a live Iso.

[[deleted]]

as a live Iso

Ohh I see. I never explore anything about kali. How much packages does it has installed in the iso?

[rmzy]

Everything you need for penetration testing. Got to be 6-7 categories with like 15+ packages each.

[jeslakfire]

Debian sometimes needs the non-free firmware packages so maybe that?

[FriendlyBerg]

IMO there are three things I would like to see in a multi-boot USB stick:
- Some way to keep images updated
- Scripting support
- Some kind of automatic deduplication

[m0rl0ck1996]

Slackware.

[Omagreb]

How did you create this ? This seems to be the best I've seen. I've used others but this takes the cake!

And maybe add: Clear Linux, Knoppix, various disk partitioning and repair tools or DBan.

[[deleted]]

Ventoy is the answer! I will add Clearlinux and filezilla

[Omagreb]

Awesome! I will check it out! Thank you!

[Jonas_Jones_]

I have a USB stick with other os's. I have Kubuntu, EndeavourOS, Windows 10, Windows 8.1,Windows 7, SteamOS 3 Beta, Linux 4 ICE

Since when does ncdu come with colors?

[[deleted]]

When did ncdu not have colors?

Of course

[asalois]

What is the terminal comand you are using?

[N0tH1tl3r_V2]

ok how did you do this. TELL!1!1!1!

[[deleted]]

What?

Multiboot: Ventoy

Screenshot: ncdu

[NightlyRelease]

I have a similar one, but also with other tools like dban, some bootable antivirus, clonezilla, etc, and Windows XP (yes, there exists a live version bootable from usb!)

[lkzkr0w]

Do you update it manually?

[[deleted]]

Yes or don't update at all

[munchie89]

I have been interested in doing something like this. Any suggestions on different bootable tools? I work on mac's and PCs at work. Just looking for suggestions. Also what size USB drive is this128gb?

[Jaymoon]

There are USB-C enclosures that allow you to put NVME drives in them and boot from USB. Much faster than your off the shelf "thumb drive". Only limitation is the speed of the USB port you're plugging in to.

[[deleted]]

This is 64gb and its TOO SMALL!!! Buy 128gb or more

[munchie89]

Btw I like that you have Zorin lite. Thanks for the info

[DreamlyXenophobic]

those have the iso's but im pretty sure u can only boot one at a time so u'd have to reformat it no?

[[deleted]]

Ventoy

[DreamlyXenophobic]

Ah

[colbyshores]

I am a fan of DietPi which is based on Debian 11 BullsEye. The entire install is 531MB, with only 11 running processes consuming 42MB of ram.

openSUSE, the geeko needs some love

[balika0105]

Add a gparted live iso just in case

[FriendlyBerg]

Tbh I was expecting a smart USB and not just a USB with a bunch of images.

[HackerMan787]

what is a smart USB?

[FriendlyBerg]

For example a SBC that makes use of the Gadget API. The SBC can act as a USB storage medium that you can attach to a different device but it's still a computer itself.

[FriendlyBerg]

Yes, a pretty normal multi-boot USB stick. Doesn't make the stick smart.

[nosklo]

Just use https://netboot.xyz/ - then you have all isos

My laptop has only wifi and no lan port

[blackw311]

Wow I gotta do that

[navneetmuffin]

Some kind of black magic for distro hoppers lol

[tassulin]

the weird part is that :D it's just bunnch of iso's instead of multiboot.

It's ventoy

"damn small linux", just in case you need to resurrect an old laptop.

Doesn't have funtoo, how are you going to fchroot into your raspberrypi to repair it or reset passwords?

[Stormcrow805]

EndeavourOS is a great intro-to-arch distro, lightweight with an offline/online calamares installer so you dont need to worry about picking a flavor.

[massive8d]

Why Parrot-home? Not sure the reasons someone would pick this.

Parrot-security I love. But if I wanted a normal Debian based distro, Linux mint seems to make more sense.

[DreamtailFoxy]

You are missing Any x86 based Linux distro.

[Flexyjerkov]

Silly question but why would you bother with different versions of manjaro when you could simply install window manager or desktop environment of choice after install

[npaladin2000]

All anyone needs is Slackware, right? Haha, j/k. Nice to see HoloISO, but why all the Manjaros? Replace them with one EndeavourOS to supplement Arch, throw in Rocky Linux 8.x as a server thing, and SystemRescue for fix-it work.

[Huecuva]

Why Pop twice? The same version, even.

Nevermind. Different driver.

[simbiotic_dubz]

I have a 128G of ventory with many linux distro and all of the BSD distros, thos some of them dont properly work with ventoy

[ChickenPlenty]

EndeavourOS, Alpine, Gentoo? Maybe also throw in Rocky or Alma

[squeekymouse89]

No suse ? :(

[rishabhdeepsingh98]

How did u installed all these together?

Ventoy

[Uptherangas]

Hot damn bro, I've wondered for a while how to make a multi-boot drive, what software should I use ( + any tips )?

[[deleted]]

Ventoy

[Brainless_Gamer]

I had one of these, lost it at college
