Distro hopping (Ventoy), Features I loved!

Lounge EndeavourOS pub

As a distro hopper, I tried a few distros but on Ventoy.
This is the ls of my Ventoy USB flash disk. I will add what I liked about each distro:
antiX-23.1_x64-base.iso (very light, runs from RAM)
kanotix64-slowfire-nightly-KDE.iso (I don’t even remember what was it)
artix-plasma-openrc-20230814-x86_64.iso (light, responsive, no systemd - AND I really loved that they have different ISOs each with its own desktop environment to install offline)
lubuntu-24.04-desktop-amd64.iso (like lxqt + Dolphin and Baloo, close to KDE)
debian-12.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso
MX-23.3_KDE_x64.iso (the tools they offer like apps for creating snapshots of the system -an OEM ISO, a personal ISO with/without personal data nad files, and installing .ISO to USB flash disk, repairing Grub)
debian-live-12.6.0-amd64-lxqt.iso (a good distro honestly, like LXQT as mentioned above)
pclinuxos64-kde-darkstar-2024.04.iso (Light on resources, semi rolling)
sparkylinux-2024.05-x86_64-kde.iso (Good, Debian but rolling/Testing repos)
Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-40-1.14.iso (nothing really to say)
And of course: the king of the kings:
EndeavourOS_Endeavour-2024.06.25.iso (The default home for me, Arch is absolutely the best and EndeavourOS the best of the best).

What do you think guys?
Am I missing something “unique” in some distros? Any distro you suggest I try that has something “unique”?

boron-1-240123-amd64.hybrid.iso
mabox-linux-24.07-Istredd-240718-linux61.iso
I tried to lift over some nice features (not the bad ones) to EOS Openbox Community edition, but they have them out of the box.

Thanks a lot @eso
Looking at both now.
Thank you.
What did you like about them? What’s “unique”? I noticed both use OpenBox DE.

Simple, fast, without problems, customizable by editing (bl-)rc.xml

Downloading from https://repo.maboxlinux.org/iso/
Thank you.

I loved Ventoy for how practical it is, but I’ve stopped using it after the xz shenanigans…

I’ve found the arguments made in the following Github issue pretty reasonable and convincing (concerning).

Gosh! Back doors!
I wonder if it is during using the Ventoy disk or it will be there after installing a distro from Ventoy?

For me I do nothing serious or access some sensitive services from Ventoy like my bank account.

Well the whole world have back doors as they already have windows!

But still Ventoy I see it more convenient than virtualbox.

As a rule of thumb there is always risk especially if any machine with any OS gets connected to the internet, even if it gets connected to another machine that gets internet connection.

I just tried it for like an hour.
Really impressive in speed and responiveness and RAM use.

Some that come to mind as missing:

Arch
Void
Peppermint
Devuan
Calculate
openSUSE
Slackware
LinuxMint / LMDE
MX
AntiX
openMandriva

Thanks @andrewb
I will try Void, Devuan, Slackware (again)
I have tried the others before.

go to distrowatch and find the waiting/unofficial list of hopefuls. That puts the fun in distro-hopping. installed a cool little hobby number called fun os that some guy built on Ubu LTS with JWM on top. Sparse and nifty.

in other words, explore. It doesn’t need to be in the Linux canon–there’s a whole world of creativity out there.

ALSO:
many .isos will not load not matter what you do. That is a limitation of Ventoy. If you burn that iso to an individual stick, you will see the OS will load., guranteed. as one who hops for sport, this has worked 100/100 times.

Yes, I noticed some ISOs couldn’t boot.
I see there are many distros waiting at https://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=links#new
