@enshroudedshrew It's the only "drop-in replacement" I personally know of. With some Linux ISOs you can mimic the functionality somewhat using GRUB, but it's a lot more work than Ventoy and doesn't work universally.
(FWIW I have no connection to IODD, this is just something I remembered the Ubuntu Studio team lead showing me.)
@arraybolt3 @enshroudedshrew there was some years ago at least a way to make an android phone emulate a usb device when plugged and mount any isos. But it required an unlocked device with root which is impossible for most people.
