Used this since 2011.
Quite easy to use compared to other USB boot tools. Single USB disk will host many different ISOs for you.
Thank you 14 years of use now.

YUMI is a Ventoy wrapper, so the "concerns over the presence of pre-compiled BLOBs, which may affect its open-source reliability" also apply here.

What is YUMI exFAT?
YUMI exFAT (Your Universal Multiboot Installer), is the successor to MultibootISOs. It can be used to create a Multiboot USB Flash Drive containing multiple operating systems, antivirus utilities, disc cloning, diagnostic tools, and more. Contrary to MultiBootISO's which used GRUB to boot ISO files directly from USB, YUMI exFAT utilizes a bootloader based on Ventoy2Disk along with a custom YUMI theme and configuration, enabling you to use advanced Ventoy boot methods with YUMI's helpful front end, making it easy to find new distributions to download and try.
Now you can create and manage, for example: Arch, Debian, Fedora, and Ubuntu-based distributions with persistent images, or make multiple Windows Media Installers. You can even use the software for installing Windows onto USB, in which case each distribution is stored and booted from separate VHDx images.
Start by creating your own storage folders within the YUMI folder on the flash drive, then just drag and drop your ISO, IMG, WIM, VHD(x), VDI.vtoy, and EFI files into those folders. During startup, the system will auto-magically add entries for newly discovered items. Thanks to the magic of the exFAT filesystem, at long last individual bootable images can be larger than 4GiB!

Best single & multiboot solution you can find; It is the only solution I found that allows multiboot installation onto internal SECONDARY hard drives, as I have on my ssd. Just be sure to set the dedicated YUMI partition to "active" in diskpart or in your favorite partition manager. Then select it from the bios or during boot and you are set without ever needing to touch a USB stick.
Also allows users to create unlimited sized ram disk drives for any linux O/S so you can keep persistent changes in your live CD ISO environments, making the environment as functional as any dedicated bear-metal installation.

They need to update their site to show the version that the download link is under. I wanted the old version that formats.
first experience
Great for keeping all sorts of stuff on one usb stick, like whole distros, anti-virus tools, system tools and just select what you want at boot.
It is criminally underrated, and beats competition because of it being portable, lightweight, easy to use and not destroying all your files.
