Thanks for the support
About YUMI.
This small program for Win does not require installation, it can load images in different ways and is present in the Q4os selection menu. It works for me under Win7 and WinXP in a virtual machine under Linux.
In addition, it can load an OS installed on the hard drive, which cannot be started in any other way (bootloader error, for example, I had such a case). This is much simpler than the usual linux solution - live image, mount filesystem, chroot, etc.
Maybe I'm wrong, but as far as I understand, one of the tasks of Q4os is to facilitate the transition from Win-Lin, so I can safely recommend this program.
PS. In fact, from my own experience, Q4os helps not only wine users. I am a long-time Linux user, but with the rpm and debian packages, at first it was a Chinese letter for me.
Very grateful to the team Q4os, it turned out to be easy with her.
I want to add the following -- not all old motherboards (or rather their BIOS) can boot from a multiboot USB flash drive.
True. Sometimes, one has to switch pendrives, USB port or liveUSB creation method (FWIW, I don't recall UNetBootin ever failing).
]]>Quick note to add that Lunuxize.com method only allows for a single ISO per USB pendrive -- while using Ventoy (or the tried and tested YUMI, for instance: www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/), the only limit is storage available.
YUMI works great, I have been using it for several years.
But I want to add the following - not all old motherboards (or rather their BIOS) can boot from a multiboot USB flash drive.
My desktop with Gigabyte ga-945gcm-s2l sees only a USB flash drive with an image recorded by the dd command.
Definitely prefer Ventoy.
Yeah, Ventoy's fine, however, last time I tried to use it got an error, can't remember what it was all about but think it had something to do with permissions, although I had used it before with no errors, it was a previous version not the latest(1.0.35) which I just downloaded and going to give it a try, like I said, MX tool has never, ever failed for me. By the way, did you see this Here is a suggestion for a Ventoy GUI for Linux ... https://forums.ventoy.net/showthread.php?tid=1439 looks fine even though it uses Ventoy 1.0.29, will try that one too.

I use KDE, so I guess it must be adapted to Trinity. Since it is an Appimage, you need to make it executable, either open konsole and type
chmod +x live-usb-maker-qt-19.11.02.x86_64.Appimage
or right-click on it and tick the box where it reads make this file executable or some similar wording. Then you'll get a passwd dialog
just type in your password to launch it
I've been using that for some time and it's never failed. Ventoy's fine too.
