Ventoy is an open source tool for creating bootable USB drives. The application is available for Microsoft Windows and Linux. You can also continue using the USB stick for other things, and it will continue to work as a bootable USB. You install this tool to a USB drive, then simply copy some ISO files to the USB drive, and you can boot from it with no other changes (so without having to reformat the USB drive every time you want to create a bootable USB drive, and without having to extract the ISO file contents).

After reading this tutorial you’ll know how to create within a minute a multiboot USB containing multiple operating systems such as different Linux distributions or Microsoft Windows. In this tutorial we will explains how to create a multiboot USB in Windows in which you just need to copy any ISO you want to boot. You can navigate using arrow keys here.With Ventoy, you don’t need to format the USB drive for each new installation, you just need to copy the ISO file to the USB drive and boot it. The interface will be similar to the default (GTK3) but with Ncurses type interface as shown in the screenshot below. You can also use CPU-X from the command line, as there are two options available for using CPU-X in the terminal, i.e., NCurses and Coredump.įirstly, to access the NCurses interface use the following command.

Note that the memory information is available only when Daemon is active. If you are using a Desktop Environment, entering the password as prompted will start the daemon and will not need further input from the user. The CPU-X daemon requires root privileges, and it uses Polkit for privileges escalation. If you start the daemon, it will allow CPU-X to access special devices, providing more information and avoiding empty labels (Package, Multiplier, Bus speed as shown in the screenshot). No one can ignore the button Start Daemon at the bottom left corner of the window.
