About YUMI

YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Installer) builds a USB flash drive that can boot several Linux distributions, Windows installers, antivirus rescue disks and recovery utilities from a single menu.

YUMI Py is the recommended build: it runs on Windows and Linux from one Python codebase and receives active development. YUMI exFAT remains a supported Windows-only option with the familiar NSIS interface. The older Legacy and UEFI builds are archived and no longer supported.

Strengths

  • Many ISOs selectable from one boot menu
  • YUMI Py runs on both Windows and Linux
  • Guided interface for adding distributions and tools

Limitations

  • Several variants can be confusing; older builds are unsupported
  • YUMI exFAT is Windows only
