GLIM is a set of GRUB2 configuration files and a shell script that turn a VFAT-formatted USB stick into a multiboot device capable of booting many GNU/Linux distribution ISO images. It supports dozens of distros including Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Arch, and Kali from a single USB drive.
Use cases
- create a multiboot USB stick with multiple Linux live ISOs
- boot several Linux distributions from one USB drive
- set up a GRUB2 multiboot live USB
- carry all my Linux live environments on a single memory stick
- test multiple distros without burning DVDs
- make a rescue USB with GParted, Clonezilla and Memtest
When to choose
- you want one USB stick holding many live Linux ISOs
- you want to keep ISO files intact for later burning to disc
- you're comfortable with a script-based setup rather than a GUI tool
When to avoid
- you need persistence overlays for live sessions
- you want a simple one-click Live USB creator for a single distro
- you need ISOs larger than 4GB on a FAT32-formatted stick
