Wasn’t there recently a controvetsy about Ventoy having binary blobs? Or did that get resolved?
Reading through the issue on github, if you check the blob directories there are at least some level of documentation on how to build them yourself. I haven’t personally tried (rarely need to use ventoy in the first place), but at least thats something
I have tried–the instructions are woefully inadequate. I tried following them to build Ventoy and had to make numerous modifications just to get the first couple of components to build. At that point I gave up
Thats good feedback, and very unfortunate

Really useful tool!
It even helped me as my Surface Go didn’t want to boot on a USB drive, but accepted to boot on it through Ventoy.
It’s one of these miracle software 👍
Do keep in mind that Ventoy works differently from flashing tools like BalenaEtcher. Those differences may break certain ISOs, though in my experience that’s rare.
For some reason, it didn’t work on OpenBSD. I couldn’t install the file sets until I wrote the image to the flash drive normally.
I couldn’t get live arch to boot with ventoy recently.
Yesterday at !opensource@lemmy.ml:
Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months
What is that thumbnail lol… hacker pepe
The amount of advertising for this tool in recent times is starting to look a lot like astroturfing.
