You are not wrong. But I get a good bit of satisfaction of having gleaned a pretty functional understanding of setting up PXE/netboot (Ubuntu installs; with a Ubuntu PXE server via DNSMasq + nfs + tftp). I even did some grub menu user input (and ascii art while I was at it) prompts/trickery to allow choosing the machine name shortly after boot, before the long slow Ubuntu install. The list of things I've failed at (memtest) or not tried (Windows) is surely long, though. Ventoy is fantastic for any lower-volume imaging needs I have, of course.
