i have a 32 gigs usb drive and, given that most isos are around 2-5 gigs, it’s such a shame to see nearly 30 gigs of perfectly good free space go to waste whenever i need to use it as a bootable drive. is there any way i can burn an iso image to the usb drive while still being able to use its free space?


i typically dd the iso to the usb drive, so thats sadly not possible
wrt ventoy, ive been avoiding it given some security concerns that were raised a while ago: https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/2795
