Isn't Ventoy mostly for LiveDVD usage and running multiple Live OSes
from a single USB key ?

Other people are referring to their USB keys which contain content
in the ordinary way. These are not USB keys that are booting anything,
they're just general purpose data storage keys. Since Windows allows
some content to be mounted on the fly (as does Linux), you can
mount some ISOs without needing a Ventoy.

But speaking in very general terms, you might own two USB keys (it's a concept).
One USB key is for emergency boot. The second USB key may contain
utilities or materials to be used once the machine is running. That's
what w¡ñ§±¤ñ is referring to, is his collection of general materials
for repair work.

USB keys don't have to be small or slow. There are some which are logically
an SSD inside. This one, it uses a single controller chip for the purpose
of behaving this way, and it's better than the average $0.59 chip inside
the average USB stick. Reliability still unknown, and we just wait
for reports to show up as to how good it really is. And you have to buy
materials like this from reliable sources that don't deal in fraudulent versions.
