One bootable USB for all the images (x86)
Most people can handle one or two bootable USB drives, but beyond that, it’s a mess of sticky notes and keychain tags, and I end up just creating a new drive every time.
Ventoy is a bootable drive that lists a folder of ISOs and boots from them. I’m a little disappointed that there isn’t a way to create the drive from macOS, but the linux version worked fine for me. (There’s probably some trickery around the bootable partition and hiding that so you only see the bucket-of-ISOs partition, but it seems like it shouldn’t be impossible.)
Why have I been booting a bunch of old PCs with installers? Stay toned.
