dear longpanda, does this method also work for linuxmint [ also based on ubuntu ] ?
--- ---- EDIT: [ A: it does work with linuxmint too ; ] ---- ----
in addition ... how about adding a new partition [ rather shrinking a windows SSD drive existing partition and then creating a new one and reserve it with unallocated space ] ; bootstrap ventoy and then " linux live distro " [ .iso image ] and finally launch " gparted " to then format and label that reserved partition we created ? [ label : casper-rw ]
can we still bootstrap ventoy then select a .iso image [ " linux live distro " ] and while making use of such SSD drive partition [ casper-rw ] to work with a persistent session ?
EDIT: [ A: that won't work ; although casper-rw labelled partition is mounted upon each system startup , preferences and configuration settings won't be retained ]

You can use persistence like follows:
1. When you install Ventoy, reserve some space at the end of the USB disk (e.g. 8GB)
https://www.ventoy.net/en/doc_disk_layou...erve_space
2. After install Ventoy, create partition 3 with the reserved space and format it in ext4/xfs filesystem and set its label to casper-rw
3. Boot ubuntu without persistence from Ventoy, then ubuntu will auto use the partition 3 as persistence.
