you can also boot netboot.xyz.iso from ventoy without configuring the network :)

This is a bit off topic, but I'd love to hear more detail as to your home network setup. I've seen netboot.xyz before but I have no real knowledge as to how such a setup would work.

What I did was get up a server as DHCP server on the LAN, install tftpd on it and have netboot.xyz on it. Then for other machines (inside same LAN) that you want to boot something or install a distro, you would boot LAN, the dhcp server you set up will automatically let that other machine boot into netboot.xyz and then you can choose your distro.

It works really well for colocation server where you don't have the freedom to go there and plug in an Usb or a DVD because it's 1000km away in the footsteps of a hotspring in Iceland for example.

I have a Synology NAS running a TFTP server with the netboot.xyz payload, and I configured the DHCP server on my UDM Pro (https://store.ui.com/products/udm-pro) to announce the NAS's IP address as the netboot server.

Linux Server did a nice blog post about netbootxyz (specifically about their docker container, but it's a good read nonetheless)

You can also use Pixiecore to boot it without a DHCP and pxe servers.
