From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.
@Telorand @atomkarinca
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?
