Ventoy for most, but some stuff doesn’t work with correctly when booted from ventoy:

• ChromeOS Flex won’t install to internal drive when ventoy booted, it will when flashed directly to a usb.

• also had Linux Mint 22 try to install to the ventoy drive (wiping it and then crashing halfway through)

• and dealing with really old 32bit bios laptops you’ll have to use direct usb too (AntiX still supports 32bit)

“Never used Linux,” They say, typing on a chromebook or android phone, before picking up their steamdeck.

A Chromebook /chromeOS is mostly a PC without apps.
