Ventoy makes reinstalling operating systems or testing Linux distros much easier.

It does mean you have to repackage isos if you want to include/update files.
For example, it made an automated.xml file for windows install a lot more complicated. But now I have a very nicely scripted iso builder for customised windows installations (I work in the events industry, so things like digital signage and show machines can be 95% configured before I even have to interact with it).
It's still windows, but it's now hands free from iso boot to being able to use it with the software and settings I want.
