I recently discovered ventoy and it’s so useful. Don’t have to flash isos anymore and can have a whole iso library. So useful.

What’s so useful having about an iso library? Isn’t it just hoarding of outdated images very quickly? What’s even the use case?
I am very curious, because I don’t see it. You usually don’t install so many different machines in any timeframe where it might be useful. For recovery you just pick one and you really don’t need it often either.
When I did supoort I would usually have a number of cds for different tasks. Ubcd, winpe, knoppix , a specialized winpe to restore from synology backups etc.
Some of the modern tools don’t require it. Backups are easier than ever etc.
Ventoy isn’t a new concept. I have a usb drive with a bunch of isos. Just don’t have much use. Because I’ll burn an iso when I need to with Rufus.
You can thin out the obsolete ISOs and have well-used tools like DBAN, a partition editor, Clonezilla, etc. Make some of the ISOs live distributions and you have a way to repair a failed installation.
