Ventoy
Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO files. With ventoy, 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.
a few months ago I put Jailbreak boot ISO into Ventoy (install JB on iPhone) i was surprised it was working fine, i think i buy a new flash drive like 64GB or 128GB soon
