Having watched your take on Ventoy I downloaded and installed it. Setup a 250gb usb added multiple iso's and used without issue so much better than the multiboot version for which I too had issues and gave up on it. Thanks so much for the heads up on Ventoy, truly easy to use works well and is to be recommended. Cheers to you.
I'm surprised you did not find that you can boot USBs in VB using PLOP Set VB to see the USB Set VB to boot PLOP.iso When the PLOP menu appears, select boot from USB At least this works on Windows; I do not see why it would not work on Linux www.plop.at/en/bootmanagers.html
Ventoy is insanely handy on Linux or Windows and runs nicely on hdds too. I carry not just USBs but ASMT chipset SATA adapters and cheap small SSDs (of good quality like Samsung and Intel, their small size keeps 'em cheap and I often buy used). Ensure your USB thumb drive is supported by your PCs firmware! For example some recent USB sticks won't boot on my old Thinkpads because their BIOS doesn't recognize their controller.

Hey :) you can boot/Install to basically any drive in Virt-Manager by just pointing a disk to /dev/sdX, it just wont work in User-Mode
Very interesting video. But I have to confess having seen thousands of RUclips videos, the most difficult one. There with a. HDMI capture card with two displays and switching between them, and b. disk group, I really got messed up (in first video watch). I believe (and hope) on repeat video watching, everything will get clear. Anyway, thank you!
I did mess with the USB stick thing from the first video for a while and I ditched it after a while and it had issues too! Never had a real need to use it much. It was just a for giggles thing... Lol May give this a go, not sure.... As for USB disks I do use Sandisk 256 gig 3.1 disks. I have 3 laptops running from them and no HDD's in the laptops... :-) I have booted a external cd disk drive in VBox several months back and I just turned on USB 3.0 usb support in VBox. With that said I was in a booted ISO in Vbox to access it though... :-) So that is not the same thing I guess but I do wonder why being in "disks group" is a big deal... Anyrate... Thanks for the video! It's always nice to see a Saturday Video, especially today as it is my Birthday today! Before you ask, I'm 29 again this year... LOL So thanks for the present... :-D LLAP
Happy Birthday 😀 the problem with being in the disks group is it means you can alter and change anything about the disks without sudo. So basically it’s like enabling an admin permission
Sure it is faster, but it is a but harder to configure, and some distros are less compatible with it. If all he does is test distros for a while and doesn't use them for tasks where performance is crucial, why change?
when we follow the Ventoy instructions just get a formatted empty USB drive with no files on it.. we wanted to make a DEEPIN boot USB which can run the OS from the USB
i wonder why they dont just allow usb boot. out rite... i was goin to do this with ventoy and over other usb lives. as iam in a desktop war of my own lol so much fun linux is .. just playin around ya know. but dang this is above my head for now... sad VB wont fix it but wait .. ooo i know why.. its THE BIG O company.... they bad at mysql and bad at vb lol
Thank you very much! As a distrohopper (EndeavourOS is curing me it seems) this is very very handy. I pulled in Ventoy via AUR as opposed to downloading the tarball.
How many different Linux distros can you install with Ventoy alongside each other? ... And, can you install multiple instances of a single distro? What would be the usage of something like that?
As many as your usb stick has space for. And yes you could have multiple instances as long as you changed the names slightly. Why? Well if you’re using them as live tool kits some distros boot better on some hardware compared to others
SSD-companies alwasy kind of lie about the capacity. I would love a law which obligates those companies to point out the capacity which you see in the operating system. That has to be defined a bit more precise but we can work that out. ;) It doesn't really matter which convention is used as long as it is clear what the number means. I think that cache and spare capacity for when it ages should not be included in the number for storage.
Mr. @OldTechBloke, Have you used QEMU? If yes, could you please make a video comparing and contrasting it with Virtualbox, and any other VMs? I have heard/read some Linux users who say the QEMU is much better than the Virtualbox; speed is often mentioned. Is it solely about speed? Would you please offer your input? Thank you.
Great video Steve, thanks for sharing. I noticed in your video that something is rattling on your desk and its getting picked up by your microphone. If I had to guess I would say it was the camera, because when you moved your arms while resting them on the desk, your camera shakes, and the noise seems to coincide. ( 29:19 example)
Steve, thanks for another informative video. Ventoy definitely needs to get into my PC tool box. Right now I'm I've been playing with may Raspberry Pi 4 multi-boot utilities. I wonder if Ventoy can work with a Pi?
Interesting question Deech. I haven’t used a pi since I burnt out a v3 when we had a brown out. Should have had it on a surge suppressor but lesson learned
Do you know if the power you dedicate to the virtual machine is permanently deprived of the host machine, or if it is only dedicated when the virtual machine is actively running.?
I mean both RAM and all other possible resources. Am I understanding it right, that if the virtual mashine is shut down, the host got all the resources back, that otherwice were dedicatet to the virtual guest.?
Thanks Steve!!!! I have been using ventoy for two months now not only not install iso's but also to try out distros without installing. I even try out distros for a few days with ventoy. It's excellent. I have installed Windows v10 on a few machines with total success!! The only iso that I couldn't get to work was Ubuntu mate. Excellent video Steve. Invaluable!😀
i'm sorry but if your going to make a vlog on a product, you should at least be able to pronounce the name of the product properly #ventoy. not ventoo.
Howdy Steve, thank you for this helpful information! I've tried to send you enough for a pint on me today. I hope that it gets there. Wishing you the best!

how..? we get an empty USB after it formats the drive using Ventoy
@@iawarenow658 you put the isos after the format!
Have used qemu-system-x86_64 from the command line to boot usb sticks. Can be a bit fiddly getting all the command line arguments right though
Ventoy is especially easy if you set up your own alias "ventoy" to run something like "~/ventoy/Ventoy2Disk.sh"
I'm surprised you did not find that you can boot USBs in VB using PLOP
Set VB to see the USB
Set VB to boot PLOP.iso
When the PLOP menu appears, select boot from USB
At least this works on Windows; I do not see why it would not work on Linux
www.plop.at/en/bootmanagers.html
But its very slow only supports USB 1.0

@@OldTechBloke Thank you!
So it is like staying as SU all the time... Got Ya! :-)

@Donald Mickunas Good Question!
I don't have a clue as I tend to leave the groups as their installed :-)
LLAP
you should use qemu/kvm/virt-manager instead of virtual box bro... it’s way better and faster...
Sure it is faster, but it is a but harder to configure, and some distros are less compatible with it.

Thank you for helping me get that Ventoy USB setup. Now i have to research the distros I want to download to explore.

Would Plop Boot Manager 6 work for live usb3 booting through virtualbox instead of creating a vmdk file ?
ive used this for a year or so and it works great with linux but ive had problems with windows and it doesnt work with mac
Thank you very much! As a distrohopper (EndeavourOS is curing me it seems) this is very very handy. I pulled in Ventoy via AUR as opposed to downloading the tarball.
very good and informative video. inspired me to try it. thank you very much for this great video, sir

just use plop to boot from usb
Its slow

I’ve used both and found virtualbox to be more reliable and easier to set up. I’m also familiar with it so it’s what I tend to use by default
@@OldTechBloke Okay, thank you.
Good video done at a speed that one did not have to recapping on certain settings.
Great video Steve, thanks for sharing. I noticed in your video that something is rattling on your desk and its getting picked up by your microphone. If I had to guess I would say it was the camera, because when you moved your arms while resting them on the desk, your camera shakes, and the noise seems to coincide. ( 29:19 example)
Yes I noticed afterwards. It was actually a usb hub that was sitting on a cable

It only takes resources when it’s actually running

Really great. WOW! Kudos.
so you made a USB you can run an OS from.. without having to install the OS on the internal computer drive.. all we get is an empty looking USB drive
i'm sorry but if your going to make a vlog on a product, you should at least be able to pronounce the name of the product properly #ventoy. not ventoo.
Calm down lad
Which product is better venture or Vento?
Thank You. Very usefull tool.
Yes - Ventoy , is THE ONE !!!
Very interesting OTB, thank you 🙏🏾. Quality work as usual.
I installed Ventoy on my portable SSD (1TB). Works like a charm. I have various ISOs, including the Hiren recovery ISO.
Thank you for this video Ventoy is something I have needed and didn't know existed, so again thank you
You’re welcome
all we find is a formatted USB - no boot disc
@@OldTechBloke thank ypu but all we get is a formatted USB with nothing on it after following the Ventoy instructions too..?
Every time i delete an ISO the USB size is reduced. You know why this is hapened?
Make sure the iso is also deleted from the ventoy rubbish bin
@@OldTechBloke i check it, its empty
Nice!
Howdy Steve, thank you for this helpful information! I've tried to send you enough for a pint on me today. I hope that it gets there. Wishing you the best!
Wow many thanks Glenn, it’s just come through. I’ll drink to your health this evening 😁
@@OldTechBloke Excellent! Much appreciated!
I definitely see myself using this. Thanks for sharing, I had no idea this was a thing.
