to install a fresh debian 13.0 I know ventoy. Do you use something else? why?

can I use gparted on ventoy to resize partitions on a notbook?

    You do not need ventoy (or any other toy) to install Linux on your computer.

    Why not just write to USB directly?

    cp debian.iso /dev/sdX

    I’m sure this is one of the alternatives recommended by Debian itself, where you get the .iso.

      Because one single character typo and you just wiped out your system drive or some secondary HDD. It’s much safer to use a tool like Etcher.
