I have a box of assorted 1GB and 4GB USB drives.

Funny how stuff you’ve had for years just feels “normal” even when it’s highly unusual.

      I just download whatever i see that is interesting off distrowatch and drop it on my ventoy usb, alongside whatever I need backed up (also on google drive just in case, since idk how reliable a usb with ventoy on it is for data)

        Can you do a live os with ventoy? With like, persistence^? for data after restarts?

          No it only does live ISO. Persistence requires install to USB, not live ISO which would all be stored in RAM.

            Some live ISOs like TailsOS do allow persistent storage without installation, which was (probably?) what they were trying to ask.

              Yes. Multiple live operating systems on one USB that have persistent storage without install would be neat, but sounds like it’s distro dependent
