From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nowadays I just use Ventoy

Same for me. Ventoy is pretty amazing and keeps most of my isos on it. Sadly, sometimes it's not capable of doing the job, for example when I installed proxmox (based on Debian 12) this week, ventoy couldn't do it. Apparently this is a known issue in ventoy.

But yeah, for most isos, ventoy is the way of you install OSes somewhat often, as it contains partition layouts and boot records regardless (I think).

Apparently ventoy and freebsd14 don't play well together - something I recently discovered.
