>>23737814>i have rufus AND ventoy, thought they did the same. but im a bit confusedohh
they do not
rufus, balena etcher, and some other tools are used to burn iso files to USB drives
dietpi, ubuntu, debian, and other linux distros are all iso files
ventoy is a special thing you can burn to a USB drive, it lets you add more than one iso file to the USB drive at a time
like you could put debian and dietpi on the USB drive at the same time, and boot from either one, for example
if you don't use ventoy, you can only have one linux distro burned to the USB drive at a time
you may not want to mess with ventoy right now, if you just want to get the computer set up
