Hello world,
I just got to experience the first iso that didn’t work with Ventoy.
I went to see the githubs and there seems to be that Ventoy foxed the issue and it works now on the latest update. [Enhancement Request] [1.4.9-alpha] Update ventoy form 1.0.97 to 1.0.99 · Issue #210 · ThomasVon2021/blikvm · GitHub
Ventoy is sus. This is from a different forum I’ve seen:
While very useful in theory, the source tree contains numerous binary blobs without source code. This issue has been brought up to the authors multiple times, have not been corrected, and have even gotten worse (more blobs have been added to the code over time). This is a potential malware vector, similar to the “test files” in the xz-utils backdoor catastrophe…
Also no update since june 2024 (have not checked again though as I have stopped using them)
Is there an alternative to Ventoy?
I was looking at something like netboot.xyz in a TrueNAS Scale App instead but its a hassle to setup. Also that precludes usage outside of the network TrueNAS Scale is attached to.
I am also looking for a better alternative.
Rufus via WINE?
Install GRUB on a USB drive and write your own menu?
Ventoy just makes this all easier (when it works).
