Yes, so many years squandered babysitting Windows PC's sheesh /0\ and dicking around with dopey serial numbers, gauntlet of security patches & multiple reboots *LOL*

I am exclusively Linux-based for Eighteen Years now wahooOOOoooo \0/

Only FOUR ISO's?

I forget the number, but I maxed out a 32GB flash drive with an absurd amount of ISO's *LOL*

Wowzerz, this new external NVMe I need to format, how many ISO's can I shoehorn onto 1TB, and the boot speeds will probably blow my mind \0/

Works for me on Lenovo ThinkCentre M720q's I've sniped used & stacked.

Although I gotta force text mode in Ventoy menu options, otherwise some distro ISO's boot into scrambled graphics, suppose I should bother to RTFM sometime.

I've yet to try Ventoy on an external NVMe case I pieced together recently, and on my wife's newer laptop.

@chiliedogg @Magnolia_

or people are like me, not gamers, so perfectly contented to upgrade old used PC gear....shoehorn a CPU in with higher core count, max out RAM with a new matched pair of sticks, install a fresh NVMe drive, good to go!

I recently ordered parts from China to repair my old mechanical keyboard =^_^= Also ordered fancy new mice for other PC's & wife's laptop woo just a little tech refresh goes a long way for me =^_^=

@Courantdair @Lettuceeatlettuce

Yeah one reason I've never cared for laptops.

I snipe used USFF ultra small form factor machines off eBay...nice being able to eventually scale into new upgrades, swap out original i3's, for i5 or i7 when I see good deals.

Although my main PC, the mechanical keyboard started to have issues...parts just arrived today so I can repair it \0/ glad I'm not roped into some laptop to try to maintain again.
