Ventoy is an open source tool to create a bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. With Ventoy, you don’t need to format the drive over and over, you just need to copy the image files to the USB drive, and Ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them and boot from it.
1.0.97 Changelog:
- Add support for FreeBSD 14.0. (#2636)
- Fix Proxmox 8.1 boot issue. (#2657)
- Fix VTOY_LINUX_REMOUNT option does not work with latest linux kernel version. (#2661 #2674)
- Fix the VentoyPlugson issue that default_file value is wrong for more than 10 theme files. (#2608)
- vtoyboot updated to 1.0.31

amazingly useful utility!
It really is. I have every possible ISO I may want and even a win10 bootable environment on a single usb drive.
Just to get it out there… I checked this out about a year ago. It’s not completely open source. The project consists of many executables and “pre complied dependencies” that don’t appear to share matching checksums which may indicate modifications of some sort. Looks like a great tool, but I’m extremely skeptical of what’s going on under the hood.
Hopefully they do truly open source it and prove me wrong, I’d love to give it a try some day.
Which checksums don’t match? Anyways, unless the dependencies they compile in have reproducible builds enabled, then you literally cannot expect binaries to compile exactly the same bit-for-bit between different build environments. This is a known problem. Also, the checksums not matching could also easily be caused by Ventoy developers enabling different compile-time flags on their builds than upstream builds. There are literally like 500 legitimate reasons why their builds might have different checksums than upstream’s builds. Your accusation is literally nonsense.
