    I burn the ISO to a DVD or flash it to a USB. Then I boot and install as normal.

    Now I prepare the disk with Ventoy and put the ISO on it.

    I'm a Grub user, but Ventoy sounds very easy to use. I wonder though if
    I would like it?

    Usually I just use cdrecord or dd but after hearing so many people talk
    about Ventoy I tried it with a number of different images. One was
    Slackware Linux, two were illumos, and maybe there were two more in
    there that I forget the names of now. Only the Slackware one booted
    despite the other ones being known-good (I used them for previous
    installs). So, the advice here is test it before you rely on it.
