From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A USB stick will be fine for ventoy unless you are using persistence and writing lots of data to it.
An NVMe drive in an enclosure is better if you don't mind the larger size and higher cost. A good NVMe drive will contain higher quality flash memory and have better wear leveling than a USB stick. There are USB 4 and thunderbolt enclosures available that can transfer over 3 GB/s.
Reminder to check the chipsets on your enclosures. Return anything made with JMicron, they're crap and will overheat under long transfers.
Possible typo? I think you meant to wright "aren't" in the first sentence.
