    wow, really wow.

    i saw veronica talk about ventoy weirdos on mastodon, and here you are.

        Works for me on Lenovo ThinkCentre M720q’s I’ve sniped used & stacked.

        Although I gotta force text mode in Ventoy menu options, otherwise some distro ISO’s boot into scrambled graphics, suppose I should bother to RTFM sometime.

        I’ve yet to try Ventoy on an external NVMe case I pieced together recently, and on my wife’s newer laptop.

          I don’t mean to be rude, but great? Didn’t work for me on all my hardware, even using a Windows ISO. I pointed out my personal experience, because it’s not the panacea its proponents would have everyone believe.

          I would certainly never use it to install anything, after my experiences with it. If it can’t get opening ISOs right, I don’t need a surprise that my install is fucked up.

      Ventoy weirdos? Ventoy is just a solid and convenient program to create live usbs. What’s the problem with it?

        because this video is a beginners guide and ventoy is irrelevant for that topic, yet here you are still talking about it.

          No, it is. How could it be simplier? Install Ventoy and then just drag 'n drop your ISOs to usb drive. Why Rufus is beginner friendly and Ventoy is not?
