Thanks for sharing! I never heard of that before

TLDR: There's binaries instead of source code in the repo, which makes it hard to near-impossible to verify what it's doing. And the instructions for building those is lacking.

GH issue: https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/2795

Focus on yourself first. I do have a Ko-Fi, but I don't promote it much.

If not, rebrand and distribute. This is the most important thing to this project.

On Linux installation is done through a series of scripts and vtoycli. I haven't worked on that yet, but there's build scripts there that should do the trick, but since they build it for multiple architectures, you'll have to run just the stuff for your arch (probably x86_64).

sth like:

cd vtoycli/fat_io_lib/release
gcc -specs "/usr/local/musl/lib/musl-gcc.specs" -O2 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 fat*.c -c
ar -rc libfat_io_64.a *.o
cd ../..
gcc -specs "/usr/local/musl/lib/musl-gcc.specs" -Os -static -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -Ifat_io_lib/include fat_io_lib/lib/libfat_io_64.a *.c -o vtoycli_64
# Optional
strip --strip-all vtoycli_64

Interesting. Sadly it only supports FAT32, NTFS and EXFAT with no Linux filesystems.
And Ventoy is free. It's hard to argue with free.

The current problem with ventoy is that proprietary blobs are essentially an unauditable possible security backdoor.

This product is entirely proprietary, including the hardware, and even worse.

Yeah, bought the st300 after having repeated issues with ventoy not properly mounting disk images causing multiple Linux distro installs to fail. My st300 might be one of my best investments as a technician just for how seamless and simple it is to use.

Can you use dd to create multiboot USB drives? Even the link you shared lists Ventoy as an option.

Well you can ditch etcher or rufus with dd, but not ventoy since i carry around like 5 distros in a usb
