Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files.
With Ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly.
You can copy many files at a time and Ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them.
You can also browse ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files in local disks and boot them.
x86 Legacy BIOS, IA32 UEFI, x86_64 UEFI, ARM64 UEFI and MIPS64EL UEFI are supported in the same way.

I've been using this for my need for about a year now, it works great

Ventoy is absolutely great! Just a few wishes: [1] a 32 bit version of the ventoy-{version}-livecd.iso; [2] an option to add a 5GB FAT32 /dev/sda3 data partition (useful for transporting or storing files); [3] an option to add a 2GB /dev/sda4 swap partition (old 32 bit systems would benefit) Note, that "normal" users aren't able to use gParted to change the partition schema to their needs.

This tool is excellent for booting my ISO's! even better if i want to pack any Windows To Go installation on here using VHD, theres a plugin to allow VHD boot. The interface when you boot into it is very easy to use. Installing/removing Ventoy is easy, even better is that Ventoy supports Secure Boot and MBR/GPT partitions.
