![]() ![]() Most type of OS supported(Windows/WinPE/Linux/Unix/ChromeOS/Vmware/Xen.)ġ100+ ISO files are tested ( List). X86 Legacy BIOS, IA32 UEFI, x86_64 UEFI, ARM64 UEFI and MIPS64EL UEFI are supported in the same way.īoth MBR and GPT partition style are supported in the same way. You can also browse ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files in local disk and boot them. You can copy many image files at a time and ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them. With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the image files to the USB drive and boot it. But it is an irritating feature of Linux Lite.Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. No doubt experts on both Mint and Lite forums can explain this in more precise technical detail than my layman's description. If it is installed as a second or third OS after, say, Mint, then Mint's GRUB doesn't recognise the Lite GRUB and update itself to include Lite as an alternative option (unless of course you are capable of doing some complicated editing of boot menus etc). Essentially, Linux Lite has to have its GRUB as the lead or original bootloader. and it doesn't play as nicely with other distros. ![]() But for reasons best known to themselves, the Linux Lite people have tweaked Lite's GRUB2. Normally, when you install dual or multi-boot OSs, the original GRUB2 will "see" and recognise any subsequent additional distros and list them. I think most Linux distros still use the GRUB2 bootloader. But there is also another "wrinkle" with Linux Lite when used in a dual or multiboot setup. Just one additional point to add to the comment about booting up and UEFI. Both have great user community forums with seriously knowledgeable and helpful members - which counts for a lot! I agree very much with the comments above by xfrank. Both work well, but I find myself using Mint much more regularly than Lite. ![]() I have installed both Mint XFCE and Linux Lite on my laptop (with shared Data partition). ![]()
