Are you also sick of having 10 Different USB's for each individual OS, Well here is your solution. An app called MultiBootUSB (http://multibootusb.org) allows us to do that, I recently created a MultiBoot USB that has 8 different installers and a few other Linux Based software. Before starting format the USB to Fat32 otherwise it won't work since the Multiboot app doesn't reformat because (obviously) it'll wipe the previously installed ISO's. that's all Enjoy it. it'll spare you a crap ton of USB's

Why the hell would you need to deal with installing that many distros frequently enough to bother pre-preparing installation media for all of them?

I could see this being useful. I've done it before, and having Windows 10 (there is a way to do that) and Ubuntu and whatever else on one stick is better than two. I only have three sticks. 

But I guess 8 distros would be a little extreme. Maybe it could be useful to someone busier than I.

i5 6600k and GTX 1070 but I play 1600-900. 1440p BABY!

Still, don't put too much faith in my buying decisions. xD

How does it do compared to Yumi?

 

EDIT: Nevermind it looks like this is only able to multiboot different Linux distros. With Yumi you can multiboot both Windows and Linux.

Regular reinstallation, troubleshooting, experimentation, more troubleshooting, some distros are meant to be used off of removable storage (Kali Linux and earlier builds of PuppyLinux), even more troubleshooting, just to have a readily accessible library of Linux distros. Did I mention troubleshooting?

never used it. sorry. but what I can say is that Multiboot is great no issues.

Does Windows 10 work fine on it? The page was talking about Linux. Have you tested Win10?

Troubleshooting with ten different OSs? Surely you don't need more than 4

Depends on what issues one regularly encounters.

TBH, i'd recommend this why? well because if you only have 1 pc and your bootloader for the PC gets corrupted or windows poops itself. with this USB you'll have some way to help yourself! have you ever come across the unable to detect window message? as far as I know you can fix that if you bootable windows USB.

Edit: Annoyingly everyone comes to me with their tech problems. I'm the PC wiz of my entire family and entire university and everyone comes to me with the slightest and simplest problems. * Cries In Nerd Language*
