What is the preferred way to make a bootable USB drive on Linux these days? I want to try a couple of distros on my very old mother’s PC before installing. When I googled it, I only found ways to do it in Windows. Perhaps my Google-fu is off? So I thought: why not ask Lemmy?

    I didn’t do it in long time but I usually use some GUI tool.

    Also Ventoy is good option for you.

    You make it like usual bootable USB and then drag ISO files to it. Boot in to it and choose which distro you want something like grub.

    I didn’t need to do it in long time because I don’t distrohop and don’t destroy my system that often.
