Looking for recommendations for a versatile USB stick with Ventoy. I'm trying to create the "perfect, all-in-all" USB stick using Ventoy to store various ISOs and rescue tools. So far, I have the following ISOs:

  • Arch
  • OpenSuse TW
  • NixOS
  • Bazzite + AuroraDX
  • Win10 ISO
  • Clonezilla

I'm looking for suggestions on additional ISOs or tools that are compatible with Ventoy. What do you recommend adding to make my USB stick to make it more useful?

Hirens boot cd is a great tool if you're working with windows. You are not always going to need it, but when you do need it it's awfully nice to have it.

Haven't heard of Hiren's BootCD in like 15 years. Good to see it's still around!

It actually saved my life a few months back, I had a dying windows server I needed to resurrect and the tools on there were perfect for it.
