I remember a story where people asked about blobs included in Ventoy and there were no comments from the devs, leading to suspicion.
At the time it wasn’t clear to me if there was any substance to the story or if it was the usual Internet exaggeration, so I resolved to ignore it for the time being and saved a reminder to look into it after a while.
Now my reminder fired off and I looked around, but couldn’t find how the story ended… do you know?
It didn’t end. Fuck Ventoy, I’ll use something else
What do you use in its place?
GLIM is an option that is a little harder to use but has the ability to load up multiple ISO’s, and it is fully open source.

Last commit was over a year ago :|
Presuming the software is working ans secure, is the time that passed since the last commit importang?
I also check the open issues when I judge a repo, and there’s only 22, with nearly all of them being feature requests and not bug reports. Also, the majority were opened by the repo owner, and they’re checklist items for future functionality (like making less common ISO’s work).
It could be that it’s abandoned, or it could be that the maintainer just doesn’t have the time or drive to include edge cases like “NixOS” and “Fedora 37 clones” right now.
