*NEW TOOL NOT FEATURED* - Check out Ventoy as it is very easy and works on any OS - www.ventoy.net/en/index.html *DISCLAIMER:* There are multiple ways to do Multiboot but I picked YUMI because I need Windows, Linux, and Utilities all within a single USB drive. Many other utilities I found just didn't accomplish this task. YUMI was the best for using both Windows and Linux based systems. I just wanted to showcase you can use some Windows tools like YUMI on Linux without issue.

The only thing missing is Apples OSX, but I don't think you can live boot that, only pre installed versions on Mac and installing it as a Hackintosh.

I have been looking for something that will let me put iso images so I can install any OS or run live images w/o a crazy installer from a USB drive. I tried Easy2Boot which appears to be working but failed mid-install on a server 2019. I am thinking maybe the drive went bad on me. Thoughts?

Wanted this for a very long time , noice

I have tried so many different Linux usb methods. This is perfect. Thank you!!!

Thank You Chris!!! It's so nice to learn new things!!

ayyyy it's yumi my favorite universal multiboot installer, i installed my first linux distro with this

Learn a lot from your videos. Especially Windows 10 installation. Good job. Keep doing what you are doing

Thank you man for the solution, I was looking for something like this for a very long time

Color it green and call it "The Ultimate Distro Hopper" ;)

THANK YOU I have been trying to get this to work uefi for a week

Thanks for the video, Chris! Just found this, as I wanted to make a multi-boot with rescue tools, but be able to update the software. Think of a stick with a Win7 recovery tool, Hiren's Rescue (old but works on some things), the Win10 version of Hiren's Rescue (resurrected by fans); Gparted Rescue, etc. And you can use the stick's memory to save rescued files if it's got enough room also. Plus makes notes on what tools do what on each bootable version.

I used YUMI earlier to create a multiboot USB stick with live distributions of Linux and also live antivirus and software tool environments. It was very easy to use and I highly recommend it.

This looks very interesting. I have multiple USBs with different Linux distros on my keychain, so this seems like a super nice option in terms of portability.

Thank you, Chris. Very good tool. And about the only way I would Windows installed on something.

This is particularity helpful. Back then it dint work well all the time , yumi that is but im sure by now it works like a bomb. Good video. This is very useful. Thanks.

I love yumi, i have my ultimate usb stick on me all the time

Wow great video with nice new transitions😉 I see what you did there😅

Thank you Chris you have helped me out a lot

THIS IS AWESOME! Might save me the trouble of modifying the ASUS Bios to include the "Launch CSM" option. Thank you! 🙏🏼

Thanks Chris!!

I really recommend ventoy, it's a simple foss utility that formats the pen drive into a small 16 MB FAT16 partition you don't have to worry about and another exFAT to fill the rest, you can simply drag and drop isos on the exfat partition (no unzipping no programs no nothing, just simple drag and drop) and you will be able to boot off of them, and you can also put other sorts of files on the exfat partiton for general purpose storage so you will be able to use it as a normal pendrive as well as a boot pendrive

i love yumi, i installed win7 on a vm just to use it the other day..

good information and well done video. Thank you for sharing

Great instructional video as usual😀👍👌 Thanks Chris.

YUMI is "nice", though I prefer MultiBoot or Easy2Boot. Both have been at this for several years now, unlike Yumi which was stuck in legacy until only recently (my original reason for ditching it nearly 10 years ago). Also very nice that both come with system agnostic tools, no need for Wine. And even more "nice", both also add the ability to simply copy an ISO file direct onto the USB drive (into the ISO folder) which is added to the grub menu at boot time - actually makes this whole process a lot easier. Especially Eas2Boot really only needs you to use its tool once, to generate the boot + efi folders and setup its e2b folder containing all the ISOs. After that a normal file copy works. And this works on all the ISO files I've tried, including even W10.

Very informative Video. Thank you

It would be great if you could make a detailed video on bitwarden how to set it up and all as well as Vivaldi's browser and must use extension i have learned alot from your videos and all looking forward to learn more

So with this implementation can you update the environments? In the past I've tried to live off of live usb environments but nothing was ever persistent from boot to boot. Saved files, updates, the like.

Love it!!! Made mine using Easy2boot.

Easy2boot seems way involved. Trying to change the menus the way you want them to be.

Absolutely interesting that something like this exists. Though, I don't see myself using one as most Distros I use on USB are super, super small(like Puppy on a 1GB USB).

Oh, coming from what you stated, I know you'd avoid CentOS Server like the plague. I dl'ed the iso, & it's just over 7 gig in size. Fortunately, at the computer store where I live, they sell 8.5 gig 240 minute 1-8 speed DVD+R dual discs. No need for installing an internal blue-ray drive. About $28.00 for 25 blank discs. They had the last pack on the shelf. I guess they're becoming a feasible substitute over a blue-ray drive & the cost of blank discs.

Good job!

I've used MultibootUSB in th past, it worked well and had a Linux native port. I never tried comparing its EFI boot and legacy boot, thoough

Duuuude that's siiick! 🤯🤯🤯

Hi Chris. I regularly watch your channel. Great job!! I'm not a Linux expert though I love it and use it since Ubuntu 5 as just a desktop/laptop user ( so not a coder or hacker here...). I usually have my live USB sticks , Yumi is great, but I don't understand why when I try on a distro with persistence it's so slow, VERY SLOW. I like having my USB and use it on any computer I have to use for that day and keeping all my environment settings and wifi passwords. What can be the problem?

Hey Chris, greetings! Really nice video. Tks a lot. By the way, how about a basic "step by step" video on btrfs for beginers?? I mean from install to creating the "pools" and doing snapshots. I tried a gui app but no success. I really apreciate your videos and i'll be really glad if you could do as suggested. Be well!

I am going to use this information to have multiple distros of Linux on a 64GB flash drive. What's my flavor of Linux today? Peppermint.

Keep in mind though, that PMagic is non-gratis software. It's about $10,- for the infinite use of the software ($31,- if you want 1 year of updates annd access to development builds). Most of it's utility software can be found in GParted Live and Clonezilla Live for free ;)

If you have an available, lower capacity SATA3 SSD (32,64,120 GB), then consider using it as your installation medium (via external enclosure to USB port.) It will fly faster than any thumb drive.

64gb pendrive unable to boot and unable create presistence

Hey Cris I know my question is not related to this video but do you have any resources to learn Linux server adminstration?

Daft question, when you stopped “yummi” how do you had more to the original usb. + could you make a awesome live disk that we could install on low memory laptops. I had a go at it and failed, still a noobie when it’s Linux. More of a mac user.

i've been using yumi since i had to hop to EFI boot because of the nvme drive. it ain't perfect as it sometimes fails to properly setup the bootloader menu but hey it works.

Ive tried it before. I put linux and windows in stick. But when i boot it only work to the last os i put in usb. If i click linux distro it still boot on the last os

I used Yumi a lot before I got my USB kit with virtual DVD iso support. Yumi was working for 95% isos for me. for some it just did not want to boot. I will give it a shot, especially UEFI is nice, as I can also havr Windows 10 UEFI installation there...

I can't find any options to install Elementary os,parrot os and kali linux in the os selector . Could you please help me out here

Any thoughts why it doesnt let you choose Pop Os? After insertion Create button is greyd out. Iso is 2.4gb not over 4 that would make sense with fat32 limitations Edit:Found it out...closed the program re-open it chose Ubuntu and tick show all iso's and select the iso you want. Somehow it made the Create re appear and be able to press it

cant get more than one distro on usb...When I put another distro on, then it overwrite usb again. Why?

Hi Chris, how did you customise that linux terminal to show the current directory in multiple colors. (Path to the current location prompt ie Titus>studio>~Downloads breadcrumb like things)

Ventory is the best multiboot app. forget all other apps and deal with ventory....it doesnt need any skills just install and format your usb and cpy paste ya iso. boot. i have been dealing with bunch of multiboot stuffs but this ventory is the best i have come across

how did you get that the matrix screen saver

I'm not sure to understand how you can make a usb stick bootablr for both EUFI and legacy, Yumi site say it either one or them not both

I am a distro hopper so I'm pretty familiar with this topic. I have 3 computers and about a dozen hard drives, a couple of disk docking stations, a few ssd drives, and several dozen MicroSD cards and thumb drives. Well, I saw your video and I immediately went out and searched the web for a similar program and I won't say which one I chose but I nearly ruined two thumb drives. After using their program to put multiple OSs on thumb drives, they would not boot, even though I tried many attempts to get the right BIOS/uefi settings and grub installations . Then I tried to delete everything and reformat the thumb drives. I couldn't format them because after stumbling around a bit in Linux and Windows 10, I had to use Partman to put a new MBR on the drive. It was the only way I could format them with FAT32. Win 10 was helpless with it.

Hi is there any performance different for a HDD

Why dont you tackle PXE booting? I've been using it for a while and it changed a lot how easy it is to just load an OS without constantly formatting usb sticks, this waythere's less wear on them

Ventoy - just came across it An open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO files, you don't need to format the disk again and again, you just need to copy the iso file to the USB drive and boot it. Both Legacy BIOS and UEFI are supported in the same way

Chris, What is the distro you are using in this video? Thanks.

hello sir, may i know what is the differences between pendrivelinux yumi vs ventoy? which one is better? sorry for this noob questions, i'm new to this. just want to make sure it can run live linux rather than installation. thank you and have a nice day. :)

This is a good video. My work has been using Yumi legacy boot for a couple years now and we are starting to transition things to UEFI. We are having trouble getting VMware ESXi to boot UEFI using Yumi. We have the latest iso. Any suggestions on a multiboot for UEFI that could include Linux, VMware ESXi, and Windows? Thank you.

i recommend ventoy just install drag and drop the iso files, finish now u can boot and install your new OS

Can I put both 32 bit and 64 bit of any distro in Vintoy?

tiny core Linux distribution runs very well on my 25 year old computer with 128mb of ram so I think you should check this linux distribution out because I want to know what you think about it

But will such a USB be bootable in Secure Boot Mode?

Can you set up persistence with YUMI?

I don't want to sound needy, but you should do a Multiboot Easy2Boot tutorial and make custom grub themes. A Hax0r theme :3

thats cool, How do you capture screen of a boot screen though ? thanks

I hear 'start formatting' come from Chris' mouth and I think... oh god, not again..

I had issues with Manjaro and Yumi has anyone got any tips or tricks for manjaro

Many file browsers will allow you to format USB drives directly through the file browser.

Question: If i want to add a full .iso of RHEL or Oracle Linux to my USB Multiboot, Since they are CentOS based, is it best to choose CentOS as the distribution? If so, which is best to pick, CentOS Live or CentOS Minimal?

i have a problem exfat dont work on gparted on usb hhd 7tb

Which linux were you using?

Hello CTT I'm a new guy to Linux please help me install IDM on MX-Linux 19.1, I will glad.

kinda lost with the part where you are showing the legacy bit and booting from it, are they from the same USB drive and from the same distros that you installed using YUMI UEFI? or not?

But can you put windows install media and winPE live CDs on the same drive with Yumi?

Can we create persistent storage for these distros?

ethos(not free 😭) or any better for eth mine?

I love Ventoy! Now I have 16 extra USB drives!

Several OS from one USB: nice! yummy!

The partition table is msdos. Isnt that means MBR? If my boot mode is set to pure UEFI (no csm) will it work? I am asking this because I want secure boot and secure boot need pure UEFI and that shoukd require GPT paetitioned usb....?

How would you add an Arch live environment with a GUI?

can you tell me sir what is the OS ARE YOU USING terminal and side bar are fantastic

Chris, why did you remove dxvk? :)

Hello sir, i am interested in making a multiboot dvd instead of USB. Does this app supports that? If not, do you have some app in mind to recommend for that purpose? Thanks in advance.

does this mean to create multiple live OS on USB disk or just multi boot installer?

Hi. Is the best way to go UEFI boot for multiple linux distro in one HSS?

Does legacy bios work on Mac OS?

HELLO! Newbie Question. Can we boot MBR drive to Gpt laptop? I also tried Converted my MBR drive to GPT but the Bios dont detect it and my Asus x507m bios has no legacy boot..

How about Ventoy?

I have a toughbook with a couple of drive caddys. I want to make a drive and put about 10 Linux installs on it. Every try that? I wonder if I could do this using yumi? The drive is SATA I thought if I could bring it in through USB it might work what do you think?

as i known , yumi just choose one of them to install , mean cannot create a usb with multi boot uefi and legacy on this. any one can explain?

Can it create a persistent live boot?

Great! Many thanks but does not solve my problem of a thumb-drive that, after formatting, is no longer detected by my Ubuntu pc. It is however detected by my windows 10 laptop. Any suggestions?
