I searched them on the web. They are all freely available. Search the distros that you want and download the iso. Same with the tools. Pay for any that require it if you have to have them. Most are free. How else would you get them?

That must gived you some time to catch them all.
This is a good post, but I've never used Ventoy, never even heard of it infact, so I couldn't say. But I do agree that Popsicle is the best that I've used.
What I like best about Popsicle, is that it has never made a bad burn, not once, in multiple burn attempts! I also like Popsicle because it is very light weight, unlike Bresario which is heavy. Popsicle is also awesome because it comes with a built in HASH checker.
And, unlike Unetbootin and Rufus which look a bit too complicated for beginners to use, Popsicle is so easy to use, even a monkey could probably do it! lol Hopefully somebody with EPIC levels of experience using Ventoy will chime in here.

I do not have epic levels but I do have gratitude to Pazoff for the description that made me try Ventoy out. If Unetbootin is an F-14 Tomcat, then Ventoy is the Starship Enterprise.

Ventoy has been the most reliable tool for the job for me. I never got back to any other tool since I don't need the persistent mode anyway.
I just love not having to format any pen drives anymore.

If you want to add more to it, open it in your file browser and just copy them in. No need to run the installer again until you need to upgrade ventoy itself. I added Kali that way.

Ventoy is sorry if like Hiren's boot cd for windows, but instead of including all those awesome tools, you just have to drag a few iso's to the folder in a file browser and your done. It'll bit and offer everything you just added as a choice in alphabetical order. It's like getting a grub menu for iso's. Choose one and it boots.

I just create a ventoy usb, add all isos to usb drive, but when i boot my laptop want show "grub" from ventoy.
I use windows to do this usb with ventoy, anyone have same issue? Maybe some Bios settings?
Got this when i boot from USB
It looks like the grub was corrupted. Uninstall Ventoy and redownload, then remake your usb. They do offer a hash to check it hasn't been corroded during download.

I always seem to have a problem with dual-boot Windows showing the wrong time, wheras ZorinOs is spot on. But that is WinXP SP3, so it may just be tired

This only happens to me when in BST, when we move back to GMT I don't get any time issues in Windows.
Looking forward to trying this later.
Thanks.
