Netboot.xyz Bootloader

Instead of manually loading ISOs onto a USB stick for Ventoy to display, we can use Netboot.xyz to present us a list of options and download them during boot. This requires an internet connection in order to work.

Netboot.xyz is commonly used for PXE booting, but in this post Iโ€™ll describe using it as an ISO.

Download the Netboot ISO and load it onto a flash drive. Then boot a computer from the flash drive and you should see something similar to this animation from their website:

Another benefit of this approach over Ventoy is that we donโ€™t have to manually update the flash drive. It always comes fresh with the ISOs available on their website.
