I do want to emphasize that you really need to know your system and what drives you have already attached. Lsblk Just as a note, I used “grep sd” because the snap packages clutter things up. Or you can go the terminal route and type in: Using the File Manger, like Dolphin, navigating to the drive to right-click and get the properties.

There are a couple ways you can go about doing that. It is a shell script that you can execute from the terminal and since the terminal is a happy place, you should enjoy this process.įirst I checked to make sure I was getting the correct device. This is not an application you need to install to your system. Keep in mind, your version may vary as this does continue to tick away. Using a terminal, navigate to that location in the folder with the Ventoy executable, it is important you do so else the command later won’t work for you. Using something like the Dolphin file manager, that is only a right-click away.Īlternatively, you can use the tar command in the terminal I am going to put them right onto this as opposed to having them litter my /home partition.ĭownload the tar.gz and take note as to where you chose to download Ventoy. The system will scan the device recursively so I can still keep everything organized into folders. I just have to drag and drop the ISO right onto. This allows me to have multiple distributions on one USB drive and I also do not have to write the images to the device. The annoying part about testing distributions is that I have amassed a collection of USB flash drives with various distributions on it and I am often fumbling finding one that I don’t want to write over. Also, as a non-card carrying member of the BDLL community, we do these weekly “challenges” and I like to participate from time to time in that. Part of the fun of Linux is all the options and therefore, I want to peruse the buffet from time to time. I like to try out another Plasma distribution or something that is quite different than what I am used to using. From time to time, I like to try a new distribution of Linux, not because I am dissatisfied with openSUSE as that is NOT the case but like going to another town to visit and see what culinary options they have to offer.
