Ventoy still the FOSS you'd recommend?
Ventoy still the FOSS you'd recommend?
I was genuinely excited when I first learnt about the Ventoy from a YouTube, then I came to these:
Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months https://programming.dev/post/19516543
Ventoy Update https://programming.dev/post/20508826
https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/2795
https://www.reddit.com/r/Ventoy/comments/1flw461/today_i_discovered_ventoy/
so maybe I'll hold off with Ventoy for now?

Funny, I'm flashing a new PC as we speak and using dd instead of ventoy for this very reason. I've also used Balena Etcher in the past.
good 'ol dd, that's a good way to do it
Yeah, well... turns out the USB wasn't bootable (grub said it couldn't load the kernel) so I redid it with Balena and it worked fine.
I noticed yesterday that openSUSE specifically recommends not using Ventoy, due to possible boot issues: https://en.opensuse.org/Create_installation_USB_stick#Ventoy
Just use cp instead. No reason to use dd.
