    What do you have on it? I’ve considered setting one up, but I’m not sure what I’d put on it yet, and I don’t want to do the thing where I make something I never use.

      I try to keep all of the distros I’ve tried out, with their current versions and previous versions (if it makes sense), such as:

      • Arch
      • NixOS
      • Fedora
      • Debian
      • Ubuntu
      • Pop!_OS
      • Bazzite (and their friends Aurora & Bluefin)
      • Even Windows 10 >_>

      I’ve stopped distro hopping as much as I used to, but I do keep a much smaller partition around for playing with another distro if I want to (such as the latest test version of Pop that includes the COSMIC epoch alpha release). I’d say that you definitely don’t need a 128GB flash drive, but the last 16GB flash drive I was using pretty much died and when I went to get a new one, the difference between 16/32/64/128 was negligible enough that I just decided to get a 128 one and never deal with storage issues on it again. Plus, you can tell the Ventoy installer to leave some free space for a non-ISO partition to keep other stuff on it as well.
