  Can you do a live os with ventoy? With like, persistence^? for data after restarts?

    No it only does live ISO. Persistence requires install to USB, not live ISO which would all be stored in RAM.

      Some live ISOs like TailsOS do allow persistent storage without installation, which was (probably?) what they were trying to ask.

        Yes. Multiple live operating systems on one USB that have persistent storage without install would be neat, but sounds like it’s distro dependent

    You can do a live OS, but I’m not sure how it handles persistent storage, sorry.
