Tired of using thumb drives to install Linux on new computers and I wanna install stuff via pxe. Do we have options in the open source world?

Work uses KACE so I’m used to that interface, but its expensive and ass.

      When I last tried to setup openwrt+iPXE I kept ending up on their forum but I don’t get what are they actually for ? Is that just a netbootable disk imaging thing ? Live OS netbooting ? Installer netbooting ?

      Is it like iVentoy the non-open source netbootable version of ventoy ?

    Honestly i use my openwrt router, and Tinkerbell (pxe boot services deployed and managed from kubernetes!). Ubuntus MaaS had a really straight forward set and gui too.
