I have a flash drive 3.0 for 128GB, I want to make it multiboot with the ability to boot into Linux (in my case, Mint) in persistence mode directly from the flash drive. Well, that is, put this option in a separate item on the flash drive, plus leave room for other utilities and installers of the tenth window and xp-th window. How feasible is this?

Doable but with a bunch of nuances and problems. If a "Swiss knife" is so required, then it is better to buy a magic box from a zalman like this .

This is quite doable, and there are different implementation options. Confuses only one thing, the size of the flash drive. I have a 64GB flash drive, and so not every BIOS sees it and allows you to start correctly from it, there is 16GB, the same situation. Only a 4GB flash drive starts equally well. And if we talk about xp-th, there are mothers on which you will put oink, it’s not a fact that they will see 4GB, not like 128GB)))
Well, as for the implementation options in Google, in my opinion, this is quite simply searched for. Mutitsya through grub for example.
