Linux boot media need not be tricky! In today's episode, I'll talk about four ways to flash an ISO from Windows (and other systems too). I know a lot of you are switching to Linux because of Micros...
What are some recommendations for putting Ventoy on your main USB (with other contents instead of just ISOs)? I need to find the guide I saw, it mentioned some configurations to prevent it from searching every directory for ISOs
Also while I’m having some federation issues, the linked website can be subscribed to from here :)
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.
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?
I have Ventoy on a USB stick, tried to use it recently for DBAN and it didn’t work, is there any way to get around that these days? Haven’t looked into it recently.
It works for Ultimate Boot CD, which includes DBAN and a lot of other fun stuff.
I play with retro hardware and Ventoy has also worked for me with some weird old isos that even Rufus didn’t work with (XP/Server 2003 multidisc from eXPerience that uses a Linux bootloader?)
Or you can use one Ventoy to make a boot media with four Linux ISOs.
Found the Ventoy bro /s

tl;dr: create a .ventoyignore file inside the folder you want Ventoy not to scan.
I never really noticed performance decrease. But still this is great to know - thank you!
wow, really wow.
i saw veronica talk about ventoy weirdos on mastodon, and here you are.
Also, Ventoy doesn’t work on all hardware. Meanwhile, the typical options work just fine.

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.
