Ventoy
Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/EFI files.

You can copy many iso files at a time and ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them.
Both Legacy BIOS and UEFI are supported in the same way.
Both MBR and GPT partition style are supported in the same way.
